Programming Fundamentals lecture 1
This document provides information about programming fundamentals including definitions of computer hardware, software, operating systems, compilers, interpreters, source code, and text editors. It discusses how computer hardware refers to physical components like the monitor, keyboard, and CPU, and how software includes programs that direct the computer's processor. It also summarizes the differences between compilers and interpreters in processing source code.

- 1.
- 2. Computer hardware refersto the physical parts or components of a computer such as monitor, keyboard, Computer data storage, hard drive disk, mouse, printers, CPU (graphic cards, sound cards, memory, motherboard and chips),
- 3. Computer software, orjust software, is any set of machine-readable instructions (most often in the form of a computer program) that directs a computer's processor to perform specific operations.
- 5. Coined 1953by Paul Niquette First used in print by John Tukey in1958 JOHN TUKEY Born (1915-06-16)June 16, 1915 New Bedford, Massachusetts, USA Fields Mathematician Institutions Bell Labs, Princeton University Known for Coining the term 'bit'
- 6. System softwares Applicationsoftwares
- 7. Microsoft employeeis called "Softie". Average salary for a developer coming in at 1,11,30,000. Microsoft currently employs 88,180 people Pakistan's IT industry's global share is estimated at US$2.8 billion. Pakistan Software Export Board is national public sector organization dealing with Software/software houses PASHA –Pakistan Software House Association
- 8. An operatingsystem (OS) is a collection of software Manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware.
- 9. In amultitasking operating system where multiple programs can be running at the same time, the operating system determines which applications should run in what order and how much time should be allowed for each application before giving another application a turn. It handles input and output to and from attached hardware devices, such as hard disks, printers, and dial-up ports. On computers that can provide parallel processing, an operating system can manage how to divide the program so that it runs on more than one processor at a time.
- 10. A compileris a computer program (or a set of programs) that transforms source code written in a programming language (the source language) into another computer language (the target language), with the latter often having a binary form known as object code. If you create any error in code then output not found or get error message. The first compiler was developed by Grace Hopper while working on the Harvard Mark I computer.
- 11. GRACE HOPPER Born December 9,1906 New York City, New York, U.S. Rank U.S. Chief Technology Officer , (Rear admiral (lower half)) US Navy Known for Coining the term compiler
- 13. An interpreteris a computer program that directly executes, i.e. performs, instructions written in a programming or scripting language, without previously compiling them into a machine language program.
- 15. No Compiler Interpreter 1Compiler Takes Entire program as input Interpreter Takes Single instruction as input . 2 Conditional Control Statements are Executes faster Conditional Control Statements are Executes slower 3 Memory Requirement : More (Since Object Code is Generated) Memory Requirement is Less 4 Program need not be compiled every time Every time higher level program is converted into lower level program 5 Errors are displayed after entire program is checked Errors are displayed for every instruction interpreted (if any) 6 Example : C Compiler Example : BASIC
- 16. Sometimes calledtext editor, a program that enables you to create and edit text files. There are many different types of editors, but they all fall into two general categories: The distinction between editors and word processors is not clear-cut, but in general, word processors provide many more formatting features. Nowadays, the term editor usually refers to source code editors that include many special features for writing and editing source code.
- 18. The sourcecode consists of the programming statements that are created by a programmer with a text editor or a visual programming tool and then saved in a file. For example, a programmer using the C language types in a desired sequence of C language statements using a text editor and then saves them as a named file. This file is said to contain the source code.
- 19. # include <stdio.h> intmain () { printf (“ Am I Dr. AQ Khan or politician?”); return 0; }
- 20. Source codeis compiled with a C compiler and the resulting output, the compiled file, is often referred to as object code. The object code file contains a sequence of instructions that the processor can understand but that is difficult for a human to read or modify.
- 21. # include <stdio.h> intmain () { Printf (“ Am I Dr. AQ Khan or politician?”); Return (); } Compiler 10101010111111010101011000 01010100101001010010111010 10101011010111010101010101 01010101010010101010101001 01001010010101011100001010 00000001111111100000101100 10101010010100101011111010 1110110 Source Code Object Code
