Problem Solving 5 Phases of (Simplified) Software Life Cycle: Problem Analysis and Specification Design Implementation (Coding) Testing, Execution and Debugging Maintenance OCD (Object-Centered Design) A Temperature-conversion problem: Write a program that, given a temperature in Celsius, displays that temperature in Fahrenheit.

OCD (Object-Centered Design) 1.Describe the _____________ of the program. 2.Identify the problem’s ____________ and make a table of information about them. 3.Identify the problem’s _________________ and make a table of information about them. 4.Organize the objects and operations into a sequence of steps, called a _________________, to solve the problem. 3

Behavior Using OCD A. Describe the desired behavior of the program: Our program should display program information to the user and then a prompt for the Celsius temperature on the screen, read that temperature from the keyboard, compute the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature, and display the result, along with a descriptive label on the screen.

These make up the ____________ in our problem. 5 Problem Objects B. Identify the nouns in the behavioral description (other than "non-behavioral" ones like program and user): Our program should display program information to the user and then a prompt for the Celsius temperature on the screen, read that temperature from the keyboard, compute the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature, and display that temperature, along with a descriptive label on the screen. Using OCD

Information about Objects Determine a _______and a ________ (if necessary) for each object and whether it is a ____________ or a ______________. 6 Using OCD cout cin Problem Object Type Kind Name program informationtextconstant none prompttextconstant none Celsius temperaturereal number variable celsius screenoutputvariable keyboardinputvariable Fahrenheit temperaturereal number variable fahrenheit labeltextconstant none C++ Type ? ? double ? ? ?

Operations These make up the ______________ in our problem. 7 C. Identify the verbs in the behavioral description: Our program should display program information to the user and then a prompt for the Celsius temperature on the screen, read that temperature from the keyboard, compute the corresponding Fahrenheit temperature, and display that temperature, along with a descriptive label on the screen. Using OCD

Information about Operations Identify the C++ ____________ to perform a given operation, if there is one. 8 To compute the Fahrenheit temperature, we need to know/find the Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion formula. Using OCD Operation Pre- defined? C++ Operator Library Displayyes <<iostream Readyes >>iostream Compute the Fahrenheit temperature ??????

Celsius to Fahrenheit Formula for converting Celsius to Fahrenheit: fahrenheit = 1.8  celsius + 32 Converting the temperature thus adds new objects and operations to our problem. 9 Using OCD

10 Information about Objects (Revised) Using OCD Problem Object Type Kind C++ Type Name program informationtextconstant ? none prompttextconstant ? none Celsius temperature real number variable doublecelsius screenoutputvariable ?cout keyboardinputvariable ?cin Fahrenheit temperature real number variable doublefahrenheit labeltextconstant ? none conversion factor 1.8 real number constant double none conversion factor 32 integer constant int none

11 Using OCD Information about Operations (Revised) Operation Pre- defined? C++ OperatorLibrary Displayyes <<iostream Readyes >>iostream Compute the Fahrenheit temperature: Multiply two real values (1.8 and celsius) yes * built-in Add a real value (the result above) and an integer (32) yes + built-in Store a real value (the result above) in a variable yes = built-in

Algorithm 12 Using OCD D. Organize the objects and operations into a sequence of steps that solves the problem, called an __________________. 1. Display via cout information about the program to the user. 2. Display via cout a prompt for the Celsius temperature. 3. Read the temperature from cin. 4. Compute the Fahrenheit temperature from the Celsius temperature. l. 5. Display via cout the Fahrenheit temperature and an informative label.

Coding Once we have designed an algorithm, the next step is to translate that algorithm into a high level language like C++. This involves writing instructions to — represent the objects, and — perform the operations in C++. 13

This will be one criterion used in grading. Each step of the algorithm is implemented by one or more C++ program statements inside main() function.

Testing Run your program using sample data (whose correctness is easy to check): John Doe CS 104X -- Lab 1 ** Convert Celsius temps to Fahrenheit ** Please enter the temperature in Celsius: 0 0 degrees Celsius is 32 degrees Fahrenheit. 21 John Doe CS 104X -- Lab 1 ** Convert Celsius temps to Fahrenheit ** Please enter the temperature in Celsius: degrees Celsius is 212 degrees Fahrenheit.

When you are convinced that the program is correct, run it with the required data values. John Doe CS 104X -- Lab 1 ** Convert Celsius temps to Fahrenheit ** Please enter the temperature in Celsius: degrees Celsius is degrees Fahrenheit. 22

23 For a programming assignment: Lose a few points or may be lucky and the grader doesn’t catch it. For a real-world problem: Much more may be at stake: money, jobs, and even lives. Why Testing is Important: September,1999: Mars Climate Orbiter June, 1996: Ariane 5 rocket March,1991: DSC Communications February 25, 1991(Gulf War): Patriot missile Testing is never finished; it is only stopped. Testing can only show the presence of errors, not their absence.

Maintenance 24 Large % of computer center budgets Large % of programmer's time Largest % of software development cost Why? Poor structure, poor documentation, poor style   less likely to catch bugs before release   fixing of bugs difficult and time-consuming   impede implementation of enhancements See Other Course Information (CS 104 page): Time Spent on Program MaintenanceTime Spent on Program Maintenance
