Code:

#include <iostream>

this is needed so that you can perform the basic functions of a program (print, if statements, input, etc.)

Ahh, no... :S Basic functions of a program, printf, if statements, input, etc...? It has nothing to do with if statements.

string - a line of text
int - a whole number
double - a number with decimals
float - an extremly long number with decimals
char - a single charachter, such as 'a' or '!'

Is this implying that float is used for larger precision than double??? And string, a line of text? :S

Beat me to it.

Also, what the fuck are these comments?

Code:

/* This * Is * A * Multi * Line Comment */

Use something like:

Code:

/* This * is * a * good * long * comment */

Or:

Code:

// This // is // a // good // non-conventional // long // comment

What does it matter? You're doing the same thing as what he wrote, and the first qualifies as a comment just as much as the double slash variation, it's preference.
