How many zero’s?

Ashikur rahman
How many one’s?
How many two’s?
How many three’s?

But computer can only
understand 0’s and 1’s! 17

• Computer’s language

6/1/2013
• 0’s and 1’s
• Machine language
• Hard to code for human beings

Lecture-1
• What’s the solution then?
• Develop English like-languages

Ashikur rahman
• High-level languages like C
• Let compiler translate at the
background

A Simple C Code
#include <stdio.h>

6/1/2013
int main()

Lecture-1
{
printf(“Welcome to CSE 115”);

Ashikur rahman
return 0;
}

How to Run
• Save a source code with extension “c” or “cpp”. (Ex: first.c)
• Compile it and link it

6/1/2013
• Output: first.exe
• Run the program.

Lecture-1
• Output of the program:
• Welcome to CSE 115
