Learning C++ Learning in Root

• Root uses C++ as its command line language (CINT)

  • CINT is not 100% C++, but is complete enough to learn
  • CINT provides shortcuts which are not in C++ (be careful!)

• Provides dynamic linking to existing code libraries

• Allows line-by-line code testing (limited)

• Runs code without compiling (limited)

• Allows simple variable examination (by omitting ";")

• Provides code history

• Easy to make macros
