Use C++ to build a crypto trading platform I: user input (Coursera)

During the five courses, you will work with the instructor on a single project: a crypto-currency exchange platform. Whilst building the project, you will learn about a range of programming techniques from basic control flow and input/output through to file parsing, object-oriented techniques and user interaction on the console.
In this first course, you will get started with C++ by writing, building and running your first program. You will then learn about text input/output, if statements and loops by building an interactive menu system for the crypto-currency exchange platform. Upon completing the course, you will be able to:

• Write, compile and run a C++ program that prints messages to the console
• Use the standard library to do text I/O in the console
• Write and call simple functions
• Use a while loop to repeatedly receive and respond to user input

Course 1 of 5 in the Object Oriented Programming Specialization.

What You Will Learn

• By the end of the course, you will be able to write, compile and run a C++ program that takes user input and prints messages to the console.
• By the end of the course, you will be able to use loops and if statements to create an interactive menu system.
• By the end of the course, you will have started developing a simplified cryptocurrency trading platform.
