Lec02 SoftwareAlgorithmCS

This document provides an introduction to programming with C#. It discusses what a computer program is, using an example to demonstrate how a program takes input, performs operations according to an algorithm, and produces output. It then explains the basic operation of a computer in fetching and executing instructions from memory. Finally, it describes how programs are converted from human-readable to machine-readable formats using system software like compilers, assemblers, linkers, loaders and operating systems.

Program (Software)

• Conceptually a program is a step-by-step solution to a problem


• Also named an algorithm
• A well-defined computational procedure that takes some values (data) as
input and produces some results as output

Input (DATA) Output (Results)

Basic Operation of the Computer

• loop:
• Fetch the next instruction from memory
• Decode the instruction
• Interpret what the instruction means

• Fetch the operands (if necessary)


• Fetch the operands from memory to CPU registers

• Execute the instruction


• Perform what the instruction is telling us to do (add, subtract, multiply,
divide, …)

• Store the result back to memory (if necessary)

• repeat

From Algorithm to 0s and 1s

• Although we showed the instructions stored in memory in


pseudo-code (human readable form), what is really stored is 0s
and 1s
• Remember a computer only understands 0s and 1s

• This means that we need tools that would help us convert the
program from human-readable form to the machine-readable
form called the machine language
• These tools are called system software tools

7
System Software Components
• We have several system software components to make
programming the computer easy
• High-level Programming Languages (C, C++, Java, C#, ..)
• Compiler
• Converts your programs implemented in high-level language to assembly
language, which are mnemonic codes that correspond one-to-one with
machine language

• Assembler
• Converts programs implemented in assembly language to machine
language, which are binary number codes understood by a specific CPU

• Linker
• Combines several object files together into an executable

• Loader + Operating System


• Loads your program into memory for execution 8
Operating System
• Is a layer of software that exports an easy-to-use interface to
program the hardware

P1 P2 Pn User Programs

System call API


Operating System (Windows, Linux, Solaris, …)
Hardware API
Hardware

• User programs make use of the hardware


through the services provided by the OS
– Thus OS makes life easier for user programs
