CO 101 Introductory Computing CO 102 Computing Lab

This document outlines the objectives, textbooks, and lab portion of an introductory computing course. The objectives are to give basic programming skills in C and an understanding of how computers work. Students will use Linux, ANSI C, and the vi editor. The first lab exercise involves writing a C program to get integer inputs from the user and print the sum, difference, product, and division of the numbers.

Lab. Part

Use only Linux Operating System. [ Do not use Microsoft windows ! ] Use ANSI C (Standard C). Use vi editor for creating your files. A brief about the 1st exercise will be given towards the end of this class.

Introduction: Computer

A device basically meant to do computations. A machine that can follow a sequence of instructions. Parts which physically does the execution are called Hardware. The sequence of steps (instructions) can be called as Software.

Hardware and Software


Hardware: Software: OS: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Printer, CPU, Memory, etc. Set of programs, like

Interface between hardware & user. Translates from high level language to machine Language.

Compiler:

Tools: Internet access, Voice, Video, Games, etc.

Early Computers

Fixed-program computer: Can do specific task(s) which is wired (fixed) into the hardware. E.g.: A Calculator. Drawback: No flexibility Stored-program computer: By creating an instruction set architecture and detailing the computation as a series of instructions (the program), the machine becomes much more flexible.

Stored-Program Computers

Program is also seen as data. Program is also stored in memory as data. The ability to treat instructions as data is what makes assemblers, compilers and other automated programming tools possible. One can write programs which write programs

Are there other architectures?

Harvard architecture Stores program in a separate memory and data in a separate memory. But, these are rarely used in general purpose computers.

What you have to do?

Learn basic commands to work with the linux operating system. Learn vi editor. (This is a software tool which is used to create files).

Your first lab exercise

Create a file named first.c whose contents should be:


#include<stdio.h> int main( ) { int a, b; printf(Enter an integer value for variable a:); scanf(%d, &a); printf(Enter an integer value for variable b:); scanf(%d, &b); printf(a+b = %d\n, a+b); return 0; }

This will find sum of two integers. Extend this to find their difference, product and division.

Linux commands

After you create the file whose name is first.c you need to compile this file to get executable file. At the command prompt do

$ cc first.c

If the compilation is successful this gives a file called a.out

$ ./a.out

The above command executes it.
