Understand C++ Program Parts

First C++ Program that display output “Welcome to first C++ Program!”.  With example below;

1- C++ Program Comment
 Program comments are helpful statements. These comments help anyone for reading the source code. It is simply a line written by the coder or programmer for his own understanding syntax or to make other understand his program syntax code. The compiler does not include this line while compilation.

2- Header #include<iostream>
It defined standard input/output stream Header files contain definitions of Functions and Variables, which is imported or used into any C++ program by using the pre-processor #include statement.
For example, we are using iostream that is one of the most basic C++ libraries! It is used for input and output.
cin and cout is an example of a function for input and output stream. If you run the program without including iostream then the error will be done because compiler asks no cout , cin library founded.
3- main function
int / void is a return value, which will be explained in a while. The main () is the main function where program execution begins. Every C++ program must contain only one main function.
4- {
Start of the function main
5- Print output code
cout is function for display output in C++. A statement must always terminate with a semicolon; 
6- }
End of the main function
Using namespace std
If you have noticed that C++ language, you may have seen cout being used instead of std::cout. Both name the same object: the first one uses its unqualified name (cout), while the second qualifies it directly within the namespace std(as std::cout).
cout is part of the standard library, and all the elements in the standard C++ library are declared within what is called a namespaceUsing namespace std.

The above program is without using namespace std and here an example with using namespace feature.
