Unit 3 introduction to programming
This document provides an overview of unit-III programming using C/C++. It discusses the objectives of learning fundamental problem solving techniques, program design, and the C++ programming language. It then defines C++ as a programming language that allows a computer program to perform specific tasks and interact with users and hardware. It also lists some of the most popular programming languages and the most common versions of C++. The document notes that while C++ is not easy to learn, it provides good job opportunities and experience that can help with learning other languages like Java. It outlines some of the industries that use C++ and emphasizes C++'s strong support for structured and object-oriented programming across different operating systems. Finally, it describes some
Unit 3 introduction to programming
- 1. Unit-III Programming using C/C++ -Dr. Piyush Charan Assistant Professor, Dept of ECE, Integral University, Lucknow
- 2. Objectives ✘ To learnfundamental problem solving techniques ✘ To learn how to design a program ✘ To learn to use the C++ programming language
- 3. What is C++? ✘C++ is a programming language. ✘ A computer program performs a specific task, and may interact with the user and the computer hardware. ✗ Human work model: ✗ Computer work model:
- 4. What is C/C++? ✘The most popular programming languages: ✗ Basic (Beginner All-purpose Symbolic Instructional Code) ✗ C++ (an object-oriented language, based on C) ✗ Cobol (Common Business Oriented Language) ✗ Fortran (FORmula TRANslation) ✗ Java ✗ Pascal (named for Blaise Pascal) ✗ Visual Basic (Basic-like visual language developed by Microsoft) ✗ C (developed by the designer of the B language) ✘ The most common versions of C++: ✗ Microsoft VC++2008 ✗ Eclipse ✗ g++ (for Unix machines)
- 5. Why C/C++? ✘ BadNews: ✗ C++ is not easy to learn ✘ Good News: ✗ Lots of good-paying jobs for programmers because C/C++ is not easy to learn! ✗ Java uses C++ syntax, it is easy to learn Java if you know C++. ✗ Though C++ is not the easiest language (Basic and Pascal are easier), it is not the hardest either (Ada, Prolog and Assembly languages are really difficult!)
- 6. Who Uses C/C++? ✘Computer makers such as TCS, Microsoft, IBM, Infosys and HP ✘ Airport ✘ Computer chip manufacturers like Motorola & Intel ✘ Software companies ✘ Banks ✘ Government ✘ Hospital Authority ✘ Telecommunications ✘ Universities
- 7. Most Important Featureof C/C++ ✘ Most important feature of C++: its strong and efficient support of both Structured Programming and Object- Oriented Programming. ✘ C/C++ runs on: ✗ PC ✗ Macintosh ✗ Unix workstations (also, Unix versions of C++ are free!) ✗ supercomputers
- 8. What Can WeDo By the End of the Course? Program the computer in applications such as the following: Program a simple calculator Program simple computer games Program a simple text editor Program a small inventory system for a small company You will be ready to take on part-time programming jobs by the end of the semester!
