<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">This 
 tuturial is writen for beginer to the c++ language, first off to the beginer 
 of c++. The most common error is forgeting the semi-colin at the end of each 
 line. But theirs an exception to this, when using loops( ie: for loop, do/while 
 loop, & while loop) you dont put a semi-colin at the end</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">ex:<br>
 for( x=1; x<8; x++)<font color="#FF0000">;</font><br>
 {<br>
 cout<< x << endl;<br>
 }</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">If 
 you add the semi-colin it will ignore the cout command and continue with the 
 program. That the only time where you dont put the semi-colin.</font></b></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="6" color="#CC0000">Input</font></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">When 
 you input an integer, char, or arrays. You will be using the cin command.<br>
 Syntax:<br>
 cin>> <i>varible_name</i>;</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">this 
 will take the inputed data and store it to the varible. Arrays are different 
 story tho, to make an input to a char array, you have to use cin.get and cin.ignore.</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">Syntax:<br>
 char array[21]; // Declare a char array</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">cin.get(array, 
 21); // we do this instead of cin because it can store everything ex: fatal 
 is god</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">cin.ignore(80, 
 '\n'); // This is to clear the stream</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">Its 
 better to use cin.get than cin, because cin will store everything up to a space, 
 but cin.get will store everything you input like Jane Doe. cin would just sote 
 Jane if you inputed Jane Doe.</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">Other 
 than storing to arrays, just using cin for numbers and charactors will be fine.</font></b></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="6" color="#CC0000">Output:</font></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">To 
 output all it is, is using cout. <br>
 Syntax:<br>
 cout<<"Hello World";</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">Say 
 you want to output an interger:<br>
 Syntax:<br>
 int x = 8;</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">cout<< 
 x << endl;</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">Or</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">cout<<"My 
 Integer: " << x << endl;</font></b></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">Since 
 outputing is very simple, thats all i will explain.</font></b></p>
<p><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="6" color="#CC0000">Puting 
 it all together...</font></p>
<p><b><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3" color="#666666">Heres 
 a simple program using everything that I explained in this tutorial:</font></b></p>
