Computers basics
 Computer Definition
 Software & Hardware
 Types of S/W : System and Application software
 Types of H/W

3
Programming basics
 Computer software is a set of program instructions, including
related data and documentation, that can be executed by computer.

 Computer Program is a set of instructions in a specific


programming language to perform a specific task.

 Algorithm is a finite number of clearly described, unambiguous steps


that can be systematically followed to produce a desired result for
given input in a finite amount of time.

 Flow Chart is a pictorial representation of a program or software that


shows the working or operational flow of a program or software.

4
Programming basics
 source code: The sequence of instructions in a program.

 Object code: Translated sequence of instructions in binary

 syntax: The set of legal structures and commands that can be used in a
particular programming language.
 output: The result to the user by a program.

 console:The word console is an old computer term that refers to the text entry and
display on device of a computer.
 Console input means to receive input from the keyboard

 Console output means to display output to the monitor.

Well known Languages

8
Translators
 Assembler
 Compiler
 Interpreter

9
Compiling and Interpreting
 Many languages require you to compile (translate) your program into a
form that the machine understands.
compile execute
source code byte code output
Hello.java Hello.class

 Python is instead directly interpreted into machine instructions.


interpret
source code output
Hello.py
