³Introduction to

Computer Science and

Programming in C++´



3

What is Computer

Science?

Scientific study of computers.

³What can and can¶t computers do?´ ³If a computer can do something,

how can we do it efficiently?´



4

What is a computer?

A device that executes a sequence of

computations and instructions. Modern computers are electronic and digital.



5

Program

³A precise sequenceof steps to

solve a particular problem´



6

Critical Skills

Analysis

Critical Thinking Attention to Detail



7

Design Recipe

To design a program properly, we must:

Analyze a problem statement, typically

expressed as a word problem

Express its essence, abstractly and with

examples

Formulate statements and comments in a

precise language

Evaluate and revise the activities in light of

checks and tests



8

PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL

These skills are useful for

anybody All assignments in this course

should follow the these

guidelines

the structured programming methodology

3. To develop proficiency in making usefulsoftware using the C language



16

Course ContentsTo achieve our first two objectives we

will be discussing Basic Programming constructs and

building blocks

GETTING STARTED

To write and run C++ programs, you need to have a

text editor and a C++ compiler installed on your computer. A text editor is a software system that

allows you to create and edit text files on your

computer. Programmers use text editors to write

programs in a programming language such as C++. A compiler is a software system that translates

programs into the machine language (called binary

code) that the computer¶s operating system can then

run. That translation process is called compiling theprogram. A C++ compiler compiles C++ programs into

Machine language

Integrated Development Environment

(IDE)

It contains

Editor

Compilers

Debugger

Linkers Loaders



24

Preprocessor program processes the code.

Loader puts program

in memory.

CPU takes eachinstruction and

executes it, possibly

storing new data

values as the program

executes.

Compiler creates

object code and stores

it on disk.

Linker links the object

code with the libraries
