Line 5 contains cout<< object. The cout<< object is used to print messages on the output
screen. The message to be printed should be enclosed in double quotes. In this case, we have
printed Hello World message. At the end of the Line 5, semicolon is used to terminate the line.
It is also called terminator. In C++, it is necessary to terminate each statement of a program by
putting the semicolon at the end.
Line 6 contains getch( ) function. The getch( ) function is used to take an input from the output
window during runtime. It keeps the output window open until you press any key from the
keyboard.
Line 7 contains closing curly brace ( } ) to close the body of the main function.
