I want to get started with C++, but I'm coming from a C background, so I want some help in getting into that object-oriented space in the language. I know all C code is valid C++, but there's no reason to use it if I don't take advantage of any of its features. Can you write me a class for a square that has a constructor and a class method to get the area of the square?

Sure, absolutely! Here's a simple implementation of a square class in C++:

#include <iostream>

class Square {
        public:
                int side_length;
                Square(int n) {
                        side_length = n;
                }

                int get_area() {
                        return side_length * side_length;
                }
};

int main() {
        Square my_square(4);
        std::cout << "Side length: " << my_square.side_length << ", Area: " << my_square.get_area() << std::endl;
        return 0;
}
