#include <iostream>
int main() {
// Step 1: Include necessary header file for input/output operations
using namespace std;
// Step 2: Define the main function
int x = 42; // Step 3: Declare and initialize an integer variable
// Step 4: Use cout to print text to the console
cout << "Hello, World!" << endl; // Step 5: Output the text "Hello, World!"
// Step 6: Use variables in cout
cout << "The value of x is: " << x << endl; // Output: "The value of x is: 42"
// Step 7: Return 0 to indicate successful program execution
