#include <iostream>
int main() {
// Step 1: Include the necessary header file for input and output operations
// The iostream header file provides functionality for input and output operations using streams, such as cin and cout.
// Step 2: Define the main function
// The main function is the entry point of a C++ program where the execution begins.
// Step 3: Output "Hello, World!" to the console
// The std::cout is the standard output stream used to display information on the console.
// The << operator is used to send the "Hello, World!" string to the cout stream.
std::cout << "Hello, World!" << std::endl;
// Step 4: Return 0 to indicate successful execution
// The main function typically returns an integer value to the operating system, where 0 usually indicates successful execution.
return 0;
