Computer Fundamentals

TERMINOLOGIES:

Program - A set of instructions, written in a specific programming language, which a


computer follows in processing data, performing an operation, or solving a logical
problem.

Software – Programs

Hardware - Physical component of a computer

DATA vs. INFORMATION

DATA – a collection of facts relating to events that take place. These facts could be in
the form of numbers, letters, special symbols or combination of these.

INFORMATION – data that has been organized and processed so that it is meaningful.
It is essential for effective performance of management functions of planning, organizing,
directing, and controlling for effective internal operations and external reporting.

DATA PROCESSING CYCLE

The process of converting data into useful and meaningful information:

PROCESS OUTPUT
INPUT

THE PROGRAMMING CYCLE

1.) Defining the Problem


2.) Developing Software Requirements
3.) Designing the Program
4.) Coding the Program
5.) Checking out the program by Testing and Debugging
6.) Installing and Maintaining the Program
7.) Documentation

Program Elements and Structure


 
1.)     Constants – Literal Value that does not change during program execution. It can
be of the numeric or string type.
 
Numeric Constant - may be an integer (whole number) or a real number (with a
decimal place). It may be preceded by a positive or negative sign.
Examples:
10 -28 +3.4 -0.413 0 201
 

Page 1 of 32
Computer Fundamentals

Note: No other characters must or can appear together with the constants. The
following are examples of incorrect numeric constants:
 
10,000 $14.3 10mi/hr 1/2
 
String Constant – A character or group of characters enclosed in double quotation
marks ( “ ). The numbers 0-9, letters a-z or A-Z and all special characters like a space,
% $ - _ & etc. may be included.
 
Examples:
“C” “Tina” “.” “1225” “B & L”
 
Note: The entire string constant must always be enclosed in double quotation marks,
one before the first character and one after the last character (no more no less). The
following are examples of incorrect string constants:
 
“Cristina A. Pascua ACT” “Power Plant

2.) Variables – Is a portion of the computer’s main memory used to store a numeric or
string constant. The value stored in the variable must be given a unique variable name
but it can only hold one value at a given time.
 Variable names must conform to the following requirements:
 
a.)    Must contain only letters, numbers and/or an underscore.
b.)    Must begin with a letter.
c.)    Must Stop either with a letter or a number.
d.)    Must be unique that is, not a name of another variable.
e.)    Must not be a keyword like IF, WHILE and the like.
 
Note: Variable names are case sensitive, that is, upper and lower case letters are
differentiated. For example the variable TOTAL is not the same as total.
The following are example of incorrect variable name:

  Year code 10ctr #5 Total=

 3.) Expressions – is a group of program elements consisting of operands and


operators. Operands can be a constant, variable, and or an array element. Operators
can be arithmetic, logical, relational and/or string. Expressions always yield a value of
a certain type depending on the type of expressions used.

Arithmetic Expressions
 
Hierarchy or Priority of Operators

1.)     Expressions in parenthesis


2.)     * / %
3.)     + -

Page 2 of 32
Computer Fundamentals

Examples: 
1.)     10 + 4 * 8
= 10 + 32
= 42
 
2.)     50 % 6 – 5
=2–5
= -3
 
3.)     20 / 4 * 9
=5*9
= 45

String Expressions
 
Examples:
 
1.)     “3” + “4” = “34”
2.)     “Cris” + “tina” = ”Cristina”
 
Examples of incorrect usage of the + operator:
 
“3” + 4 100 + “Peso”

Relational Expressions

Greater than > Less than or equal to <=


Less than < Not equal !=
Greater than or equal to >= Is equal to ==

Examples:

Ctr1 > 10 3 <= 5 Temp1 != Temp2


 
Examples of incorrect Relational Expressions:
 
30 <= X <= 40 43 > < 50

Logical Expressions
 
Hierarchy or Priority of Operators

1.)     Expressions in parenthesis


2.)     Not (!)
3.)     And (&&)
4.)     Or (||)
 

Page 3 of 32
Computer Fundamentals

TRUTH TABLE FOR NOT(!)

X !X
FALSE TRUE
TRUE FALSE

TRUTH TABLE FOR AND(&&)

X Y X && Y
FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE TRUE FALSE
TRUE FALSE FALSE
TRUE TRUE TRUE

TRUTH TABLE FOR OR(||)

X Y X || Y
FALSE FALSE FALSE
FALSE TRUE TRUE
TRUE FALSE TRUE
TRUE TRUE TRUE

Examples:
 
15 >= 10 && 15 <= 20
T && T
T
 
Statements – are keywords, which perform a predefined procedure. The following
statements are available:
 
1.)     IF Statement
2.) WHILE Statement
3.)     FOR Statement

Exercises:
 
1.)     11 % 2 + 3 * 7 –2
2.)     100 % 5 % 3 % 2
3.)     – (45 / 9) * 6 + 4
4.)     (5 + 7) % (10 * 2 – 5) / (15 – (8 – 6 % 4))
5.)     (8 + 21 % (18 – 5 * 3)) % (17 – (6 + 13 % 5))
6.)     (12 == 12 % 2 * 2) && !(( 5 > 3) && (8<3))
7.)     (6 > 3) && (8 != 8) || !(10 <= 10)
8.)     15 / 3 == 15 % 3
9.)     5 != 11 / 2

Page 4 of 32

Exercises:
 
10.) Number of enrollees exceeded 5,000 students.
11.) HEIGHT is at least 170 cm.
12.) REVENUE is at most 80% of SALES.
13.) X is either 6, 8 , or 10
14.) X is any number except 1, 2, and 3.
15.) X is between 100 and 200.

FLOWCHARTS

- A graphic form of an algorithm.


- A diagram of a sequence of steps that a program must perform to produce the
desired output.
- Traditional tool of programmers which allow flexibility in terms of detail to be
included.

TYPES OF FLOWCHARTS

1.) System Flowchart – present the total picture without worrying about taking
care of every detail.
2.) Program Flowcharts – depicts a main segment of a complete computer
program.

FLOWCHARTING GUIDELINES

1.) Always use the ANSI standard symbols.


2.) Construct your flowcharts to read from top to bottom and left to right.
3.) Do not crisscross flow lines (used labeled connectors and use arrowheads to
indicate direction of the flow.
4.) Make the messages and labels in the flowchart symbol direct and descriptive.
5.) Strive for neatness, clarity and simplicity.

Escape Sequence Character

Character combinations consisting of a backslash (\) followed by a letter or by a


combination of digit is called "escape sequences."

Escape Sequence Represents


\a Bell (alert)
\b Backspace
\f Formfeed
\n New line
\r Carriage return
\t Horizontal tab
\v Vertical tab
\' Single quotation mark
\" Double quotation mark
\\ Backslash
\? Literal question mark
\ ooo ASCII character in octal notation
\x hh ASCII character in hexadecimal notation
\x hhhh Unicode character in hexadecimal notation
if this escape sequence is used in a wide-
character constant or a Unicode string
literal.
For example, WCHAR f = L'\x4e00' or
WCHAR b[] = L"The Chinese character for
one is \x4e00".

Compound Operators

In addition to basic Arithmetic operators, compound operators are available in C++.

The following are the compound Operators in C++: *=, /=, %=, +=, and - =

Normal Arithmetic Expression Arithmetic Expression Using Compound


Operators
Var = Var * 2 Var *= 2
Var = Var / 3 Var /= 3
Var = Var % 5 Var %= 5
Var = Var + 4 Var += 4
Var = Var – 1 Var -= 1

Unary Operators (Prefix and Postfix)

The available unary operators in C++ are ++ which increments a variable by 1 and - -
which decrements a variable by 1. It can be written as PREFIX or before the variable or
POSTFIX after the variable.

PREFIX Example: ++X or --X

POSTFIX Example: X++ or X--

number entered.
8.) Create a flowchart/ C++ program that will input 6 score for quizzes (0-100).
Eliminate the lowest quiz and compute and output the average of the five remaining
quizzes.

ARRAYS

ARRAYS - a series of simple variables grouped together under one single variable.

int Score[5];

In the computer’s main memory, this can be depicted as:

Score[0] Score[1] Score[2] Score[3] Score[4]

Notice that a total of 5 adjacent slots are allotted because the array is declared as size 5.
In effect, array SCORE can hold 5 different values at the same time.

There are certain rules to follow when using subscripts and they are as follows:

1 The value of the subscript must be a positive integer number.


2 It can be an integer constant (e.g., Score[2]), numeric variable with integer
value (e. g., Score[X] where X is a numeric variable with integer value)
3 The first element always has a subscript of 0.
4 The value of the subscript cannot exceed the size of the array minus 1. For
example, for array Score, the subscript must be between 0 and 4 only since
Score was declared as Score[5].
5 The subscript must be enclosed in square bracket.

Page 27 of 32
Computer Fundamentals

Examples of Incorrect usage of subscript:

Consider the variable declaration below:

num TOTAL[12], IND


char XX[20]

1.) TOTAL [0.1]


2.) TOTAL [-1]
3.) TOTAL [14]

* Subscript must be between 0 and the size of the array minus 1 which in this case
12.

2.) TOTAL {2}

* Subscript must be enclosed within square bracket. No other symbols must be


used.

3.) TOTAL [XX]

* Subscript must be either an integer constant, numeric variable with integer value
or an arithmetic expression with integer value or an arithmetic expression with
integer result. The above is a character array variable which violates the rule just
mentioned.

4.) TOTAL [“2”]

* Subscript must be numeric.

5.) TOTAL [5+10]

* The resulting answer of 15 exceeds the size of the array which was defined as
TOTAL is ARRAY [12]

Assigning values to an array element using assignment statement:

To assign number 10 to element number 0, the statement is:

Score[0] = 10

To assign number 20 + 30 to element number 1, the statement is:

Score[1] = 20 + 30

To assign expression X / 5 to element number 3, the statement is:

Score[3] = X / 5

To assign the content of variable X to element number 4, the statement is:

Score[4] = X

To assign the content of element number 4 to element number 3, the statement is:

Score[3] = Score[4]

To assign the result of multiplying the content of element number 4 to element number 2
and putting the result in element number 1, the statement is:

Score[1] = Score[5] * Score[3]

To assign zero to all the elements of array Score, the statement is:

ctr = 0

while (ctr<5)
begin
Score[ctr] = 0
ctr = ctr + 1
end

1.) Create a flowchart/C++ program that would accept 10 numbers and then display
all 10 numbers together with its total.

Flowchart
Start A
Flowchart

Declarations ctr = 0
num NUM[10], ctr, sum

Output NUM[ctr]
ctr = 0
sum = 0
ctr = ctr + 1
Input NUM[ctr]

ctr = ctr + 1 while Y


sum = sum + NUM[ctr] ctr <10

N
while Output sum
Y
ctr < 10

N Stop
A

C++ Program

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{ int NUM[10];
int ctr=0, sum=0;
do
{
cin>> NUM[ctr];
sum = sum + NUM[ctr];
ctr = ctr + 1;
} while (ctr <10);
ctr =0;
do
{
cout<< NUM[ctr];
ctr = ctr + 1;
} while (ctr < 10);
cout<<“The total of all the numbers entered = “<<sum<<endl;
return 0;

2.) Create a flowchart/C++ program that would assign numbers 8-15 to an array of 8
elements. The program must then display the contents of the array starting from
the last element.

Flowchart A
Start

ctr = 7
Declarations
num Num[8], ctr, value
Output NUM[ctr]

ctr = 0
value = 8 ctr = ctr - 1

NUM[ctr] = value
value = value + 1
ctr = ctr + 1 while Y
ctr >= 0

while Y N
ctr <= 7
Stop
N
A

C++ Program
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{ int NUM[8];
int ctr=0, value=8;

do
{
NUM[ctr] = value;
value = value + 1;
ctr = ctr + 1;
} while (ctr <=7);

ctr=7;
do
{
cout<< NUM[ctr];
ctr = ctr – 1;
} while (ctr >= 0);
return 0; Page 31 of 32

Exercises:

1.) Create a flowchart and a C++ program that will declare an array named A with 10
elements. Prompt the user to input values into its first five cells and copy the
numbers entered into its last five cells. Finally, output the content of array A.

2.) Create a flowchart and a C++ program that will input values to array A[10] and
array B[10]. Exchange their values in reverse order and output the new content
of arrays A and B.

3.) Create a flowchart and a C++ program that will declare an array named NUM
with 10 elements. Compute its product such that all the elements in the odd
subscripts will be your multiplicand and all the elements in the even subscript will
be your multiplier. Placed the product into the array named PROD with 5
elements and finally output the content of array PROD.

4.) Create a flowchart and a C++ program that will prompt the user to input numbers
into array C and the input should be terminated by a zero sentinel. Output the
contents of array C and also the highest and the lowest number entered.
