Survival Guide Reference


In this exercise, you will create your own Quick Reference Survival Guide — a list of commonly used commands and functions in your C++ program development environment. You can use this card for quick reference instead of looking up a frequently used command or function in a manual or accessing online help.

The following table contains an outline of various tasks that you need to perform when creating a program. For each task, list the commands, keystrokes, or mouse actions needed to perform the task. Space is provided after each section to insert additional tasks that you find useful. Use any available resources that describe the operating system, editor, compiler, and debugger to complete the exercise, including past labs and your text.
