- 2. INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER PROGRAMMING 1) Introduction to Computer Programming. 2) Computer, Hierarchy of Computer, Compiler. 3) Interpreter, High level language, Features of C language.
- 3. • Program • Software • Compiler • Interpreter • Modular programming/Structured Programming • Non structured programming • Need of Programming language • Difference between structured and object oriented programming • Advantages of object oriented programming
- 4. Computer • In basic term, a computer is an electronic device that processes data, converting it into information that is useful to people.
- 5. Hierarchy of Computer Computer HardwareSoftware Application Software System Software MS Office, Spread sheet Operating system Languages C, C++ and Java
- 6. Program It is the set of instructions to be given to computer for processing and desired results.
- 8. Compiler A compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language and turns them into machine language or "code" that a computer's processor uses.
- 9. Interpreter An interpreter translates high-level instructions into an intermediate form, which it then executes. Computer language processor that translates a program line-by-line (statement-by-statement) and carries out the specified actions.
- 10. High level language • A programming language such as C, FORTRAN, or Pascal that enables a programmer to write programs that are more or less independent of a particular type of computer. • Such languages are considered high-level because they are closer to human languages and further from machine languages.
- 11. Features of C language Why Learn C • Compact, fast and powerful. • “Mid-level” language. • Standard for program development(Wide Acceptance). • It is everywhere (Portable). • Supports modular programming style. • Useful for all applications. • C is native language of Unix. • Easy to interface with System devices/assemble routines. • C is terse.
