Hi,

Is there a book that shows how to program well and efficiently the arduino language like a c++ book?

Im learning c++, but what language is the arduino using? I cannot find any place that teaches how to learn the language in dept.

Please tell mehow the language works

Thank you

That's good, because that IS the language that the Arduinos are programmed in.

Then why isn't working when I try the simplest c++ program?
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()

{
 
  int x;
 
  cout<<"Please enter value";
  cin>>x;
 
 

return 0;
}

It doesn't have a file system. There is no stdin and stdout.

Also the STL is not included. You can however download that (not that this gives you cout at such). However there *is* a streaming library. That lets you stream to the serial port.

Have you LOOKED at your Arduino? Where do you expect the data that cout outputs to appear? The Arduino doesn't have a display device?

Where do you expect the data that cin is looking for to come from? Did your Arduino come with a keyboard attached?

The Arduino environment defines main() for you already, so you can't redefine it. It's in hardware \ arduino \ cores \ arduino \ main.cpp and it looks like this:

Code:

#include <Arduino.h>

int main(void)
{
init();

#if defined(USBCON)
USB.attach();
#endif

setup();
   
for (;;) {
loop();
if (serialEventRun) serialEventRun();
}
       
return 0;
}
