arithmetic and logical operations
C++ programming program design including data structures
8
Main Memory
• Directly connected to the CPU
• All programs must be loaded into main
memory before they can be executed
• All data must be brought into main memory
before it can be manipulated
• When computer power is turned off,
everything in main memory is lost
C++ programming program design including data structures
10
Secondary Storage
• Secondary storage: Device that stores
information permanently
• Examples of secondary storage:
− Hard disks
− Floppy disks
− Zip disks
− CD-ROMs
− Tapes
− Flash drives
11

computers. They include:
− Keyboard
− Mouse
− Secondary storage
• Output devices display results. They include:
− Monitor
− Printer
− Secondary storage
12
Software

− Word processors
− Spreadsheets
− Games
13
The Language of a Computer
• Digital signals are sequences of 0s and 1s
• Machine language: language of a computer
• Binary digit (bit):
− The digit 0 or 1
• Binary code:
− A sequence of 0s and 1s
• Byte:
− A sequence of eight bits
C++ programming program design including data structures
15
Coding Schemes
• ASCII (American Standard Code for
Information Interchange)
− 128 characters
− A is encoded as 1000001 (66th character)
− 3 is encoded as 0110011
16
Coding Schemes (continued)
• EBCDIC
− Used by IBM
− 256 characters
• Unicode
− 65536 characters
− Two bytes are needed to store a character
17
Programming Language Evolution
• Early computers were programmed in
machine language
• To calculate wages = rates * hours in
machine language:
100100 010001 //Load
100110 010010 //Multiply
100010 010011 //Store
18
Assembly Language
• Assembly language instructions are mnemonic
• Assembler: translates a program written in assembly
language into machine language
• Using the assembly language instructions, the
equation wages = rates • hours can be
written as follows:
LOAD rate
MULT hour
STOR wages
20
High-Level Languages
• High-level languages include Basic,
FORTRAN, COBOL, Pascal, C++, C, and
Java
• Compiler: translates a program written in a
high-level language machine language
• The equation wages = rate • hours can
be written in C++ as:
wages = rate * hours;
21
A C++ Program
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << "My first C++ program." << endl;
cout << "The sum of 2 and 3 = " << 5 << endl;
cout << "7 + 8 = " << 7 + 8 << endl;
return 0;
}
Sample Run:
My first C++ program.
The sum of 2 and 3 = 5
7 + 8 = 15
22
Processing a Program
• To execute a program written in a high-level
language such as C++
− Use an editor to create a source program in C++
− In a C++ program, statements that begin with the symbol #
are called preprocessor directives. These statements are
processed by a program called preprocessor.
− Use the compiler to
• Check that the program obeys the rules
• Translate into machine language (object program)
− Software Development Kit (SDK) may be used to create a
program
23
Processing a Program (continued)
− Linker:
Combines object program with other programs
provided by the SDK to create executable code
− Loader:
• Loads executable program into main memory
− The last step is to execute the program
C++ programming program design including data structures
25
Problem Solving
• Programming is a process of problem solving
• Problem solving techniques
− Analyze the problem
− Outline the problem requirements
− Design steps (algorithm) to solve the problem
• Algorithm:
− Step-by-step problem-solving process
− Solution achieved in finite amount of time
26
Problem Solving Process
• Step 1 - Analyze the problem
− Outline the problem and its requirements
− Design steps (algorithm) to solve the problem
• Step 2 - Implement the algorithm
− Implement the algorithm in code
− Verify that the algorithm works
• Step 3 - Maintenance
− Use and modify the program if the problem
domain changes
C++ programming program design including data structures
28
Analyze the Problem
• Thoroughly understand the problem
• Understand problem requirements
− Does program require user interaction?
− Does program manipulate data?
− What is the output?
• If the problem is complex, divide it into
subproblems
− Analyze each subproblem as above
29
Design an Algorithm
• If problem was broken into subproblems
− Design algorithms for each subproblem
• Check the correctness of algorithm
− Can test using sample data
− Some mathematical analysis might be
required
30
Write the Code
• Once the algorithm is designed and
correctness verified
− Write the equivalent code in high-level
language
• Enter the program using text editor
31
Compiling and Linking
• Run code through compiler
• If compiler generates errors
− Look at code and remove errors
− Run code again through compiler
• If there are no syntax errors
− Compiler generates equivalent machine code
• Linker links machine code with system
resources
32
The Loader and Executing
• Once compiled and linked, loader can place
program into main memory for execution
• The final step is to execute the program
• Compiler guarantees that the program follows
the rules of the language
− Does not guarantee that the program will run
correctly
33
Example 1-1 - Rectangle
• Design an algorithm to find the perimeter and
area of a rectangle
• The perimeter and area of the rectangle are
given by the following formulas:
perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
area = length * width
34
Example 1-1
• Algorithm:
− Get length of the rectangle
− Get width of the rectangle
− Find the perimeter using the following
equation:
perimeter = 2 * (length + width)
• Find the area using the following equation:
area = length * width
35
Example 1-3
• Every salesperson has a base salary
• Salesperson receives $10 bonus at the end
of the month for each year worked if he or
she has been with the store for five or less
years
• The bonus is $20 for each year that he or she
has worked there if over 5 years
36
Example 1-3 (continued)
• Additional bonuses are as follows:
− If total sales for the month are $5,000-
$10,000, he or she receives a 3% commission
on the sale
− If total sales for the month are at least
$10,000, he or she receives a 6% commission
on the sale
37
Example 1-3 (continued)
• Get baseSalary
• Get noOfServiceYears
• Calculate bonus using the following formula:
if (noOfServiceYears is less than or equal to
five)
bonus = 10 * noOfServiceYears
otherwise
bonus = 20 * noOfServiceYears
• Get totalSale
38
Example 1-3 (continued)
• Calculate additionalBonus as follows:
if (totalSale is less than 5000)
additionalBonus = 0
otherwise
if (totalSale is greater than or equal to
5000 and totalSale is less than 10000)
additionalBonus = totalSale · (0.03)
otherwise
additionalBonus = totalSale · (0.06)
39
Example 1-3 (continued)
• Calculate payCheck using the equation
payCheck = baseSalary + bonus + additionalBonus
40
Example 1-5
• 10 students in a class
• Each student has taken five tests and each
test is worth 100 points.
• Design an algorithm to calculate the grade for
each student as well as the class average.
− Design an algorithm to find the average test score.
− Design an algorithm to determine the grade.
• Data consists of students’ names and their
test scores.
41
Example 1-5 (continued)
• Algorithm to determine the average test score.
1. Get the five test scores.
2. Add the five test scores. Suppose sum stands for the
sum of the test scores.
3. Suppose average stands for the average test score.
Then
average = sum / 5;
42
Example 1-5 (continued)
• Algorithm to determine the grade.
if average is greater than or equal to 90
grade = A
otherwise
if average is greater than or equal to 80 and
less than 90
grade = B
otherwise
if average is greater than or equal to 70 and
less than 80
grade = C
otherwise
if average is greater than or equal to 60 and
less than 70
grade = D
otherwise
grade = F
43
Example 1-5 (continued)
• Main algorithm is as follows:
1. totalAverage = 0;
2. Repeat the following steps for each student in the
class.
a. Get student’s name.
b. Use the algorithm as discussed above to find the
average test score.
c. Use the algorithm as discussed above to find the grade
d. Update totalAverage by adding current student’s
average test score.
3. Determine the class average as follows:
classAverage = totalAverage / 10
44
Structured Programming
• Structured design:
− Dividing a problem into smaller subproblems
• Structured programming
− Implementing a structured design
• The structured design approach is also called
− Top-down design
− Stepwise refinement
− Modular programming
45
Object-Oriented Programming
• Identify components called objects
• Specify relevant data and possible operations
to be performed on that data
• Each object consists of data and operations
on that data
• An object combines data and operations on
the data into a single unit
46
Object-Oriented Programming
(continued)
• A programming language that implements
OOD is called an object-oriented
programming (OOP) language
• Learn how to represent data in computer
memory, how to manipulate data, and how to
implement operations
• Write algorithms and implement them in a
programming language
47
Object-Oriented Programming
(continued)
• Learn how to combine data and operations
on the data into a single unit called an object
• C++ was designed to implement OOD
• OOD is used with structured design
48
ANSI/ISO STANDARD C++
• C++ evolved from C
• C++ designed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell
Laboratories in early 1980s
• C++ programs were not always portable from
one compiler to another
• In mid-1998, ANSI/ISO C++ language
standards were approved
49
Summary
• Computer: an electronic device that can
perform arithmetic and logical operations
• Computer system has hardware and software
• Central processing unit (CPU): brain
• Primary storage (MM) is volatile; secondary
storage (e.g., disk) is permanent
• Operating system monitors the overall activity
of the computer and provides services
50
Summary (continued)
• Various kinds of languages, such as
machine language, assembly, high-level
• Algorithm: step-by-step problem-solving
process; solution in finite amount of time
• The problem-solving process has three
steps:
1. Analyze problem and design an algorithm
2. Implement the algorithm in code
3. Maintain the program
51
Summary (continued)
• Structured design:
− Problem is divided into small subproblems
− Each subproblem is solved
− Combine solutions to all subproblems
• Object-oriented design (OOD): a program is a
collection of interacting objects
• Object: data and operations on those data
