Additional
Information • Divided into three classes
Do’s – Operating System-user interface, database
Don’ts access

problems.
Do’s

Don’ts • For example

Computer Languages
• Machine Language- The only programming language
Syntax available in earlier days
Additional – Consists of only 0’s and 1’s; e.g.:- 10101011
Information
• Symbolic language or Assembly language-
Do’s
– symbols or mnemonics used to represent
Don’ts
instructions
Video clip
– hardware specific
Case studies
e.g. ADD X,Y; Add the contents of y to x
Do it
yourself • High-level languages- English like language using which
the programmer can write programs to solve a problem.
– more concerned with the problem specification and
not oriented towards the details of computer.
– e.g.: C, C++, C#, Fortran, BASIC, Pascal etc.

input and translates it into machine language at a
Additional
Information time. e.g.:- C, C++ compilers.
Do’s
• Interpreter : Program which translates one
Don’ts
statement of a high level language program into

machine language at a time and executes it.
Case studies

Do it e.g.:- Basic Interpreters, Java Interpreters.

• Assembler : is a program which translates an
assembly language program into machine
language.
e.g.:- TASM(Turbo ASseMbler), MASM(Macro
ASseMbler).

Operating system
 Operating System is an integrated collection of programs
Syntax which make the computer operational and help in
Additional executing user programs.
Information

Do’s  It acts as interface between the man and machine.


Don’ts  It manages the system resources like memory, processors,
Video clip input-output devices and files.
Case studies
 Types:
Do it
yourself  Single user and Multi user OS
 Real time OS
 Single-tasking and Multi-tasking
 Distributed OS
 Embedded OS etc.

Syntax resource sharing
Additional • Abstracts and standardizes the interface to the user across
Information
different types of hardware
Do’s

Do it – Each program gets space on the resource
yourself
• Manages different goals:
– Use hardware efficiently and give maximum
performance to each user.
