Abstract
Computers are designed and built to crunch numbers. The programs you write will take advantage of the computational power of computers to provide experiences to users that are completely dependent on your ability to understand and utilize the tools provided by C++ to manipulate numbers. C++ provides support for different types of numbers, this support includes whole numbers and real numbers as well as multiple different ways of storing and representing these.
