cout object provided by the system, and
strings.
index.
A variable or value used to select one of the members of an ordered set, like a character from a string.
traverse.
To iterate through all the elements of a set performing a similar operation on each.
counter.
A variable used to count something, usually initialized to zero and then incremented.
increment.
Increase the value of a variable by one. The increment operator in C++ is
++. In fact, that’s why C++ is called C++, because it is meant to be one better than C.
decrement.
Decrease the value of a variable by one. The decrement operator in C++ is
–.

To join two operands end-to-end.
