Description of the sample program

The C++ program that I will explain in this lesson illustrates expressions and operators.  In particular, it illustrates the use of:

• The Scope Resolution operator
• The Indirection operator
• The new operator
• The Assignment operator
• The Pointer to Member operator
• Multiplicative operators
• Additive operators
• Parenthesis to control precedence
• The modulus operator to get a remainder
• The cast operator to temporarily change the type of a value.

The program also illustrates the impact of operand types on the result of arithmetic operations.
