1. Bjarne Stroustrup
2. Object orientation and additional standard libraries
3. Strongly typed means variable must be declared before use
4. Preprocessor directives contain the definition of some predefined fuctions like
<iostream> has the definition of functions like cin and cout.
Executable statements are line of codes written by a programmer to perform his

10. The lifespan of a local variable is the function within which it is declared
11. Global variable is declared outside all the functions in a program and that is usually
before the main() function.
int x; // x is a global variable here
int main(){….}
12. The local variable takes precedence within the same program
13. The scope of a parameter within a function is local to that function
14. Given that x =5, Y =6;
x%y = 6
++x = 6
y++ = 6
15. if(x >=10 && x <=15) {…..}
