8. 8 1. Analysis  What?  Defining the Problem  Requirements  Generate and document a clear problem statement  Need to talk to all stakeholders  Most common cause of software system failure traced to poor requirements gathering  IPO

9. cosc175 - lec19 2. Design HOW? Planning Algorithm – expansion of steps in the IPO diagram Flowchart Pseudocode

10. cosc175 - lec110 Start Input payRate Input hrsWorked netPay = payRate * hrsWorked Output netPay Stop Pseudocode: Input payRate Input hrsWorked netPay = payRate * hrsWorked Output netPay

11. Design tools cosc175 - lec111 pseudocodeflowchart Can be done easily on word processor Implements structured design elements well Not visual No standard Standardized visual Difficult to modify requires special software to do on computer

12. cosc175 - lec112 An Algorithm is... Step-by-step procedures for solving a problem in a finite amount of time. We are learning to write algorithms and the computer is simply a fast and flexible tool for implementing algorithms. An algorithm is an ordered set of instructions such that: (1) There are a finite number of steps. (2) It takes a finite amount of time to execute the steps. (3) Each step is precise in meaning, and “doable.” (4) It solves a general class of problems.

13. cosc175 - lec113 3. Code the Solution Choose language Edit – create source program Compile - translate –Syntax error – violate rules of programming language Link Create an executable program

14. cosc175 - lec114 4. Test and Debug Test with variety of data Debugging: locating and correcting errors –Logic error or bug - flaw in algorithm Run-time error e.g. Divide by zero Programming packages usually have debugger software to help programmer

15. cosc175 - lec115 5. Maintain and Document Maintenance – Changing and maintaining existing programs –Most coding is actually maintenance Documentation – sometimes done by technical writers

16. cosc175 - lec116 A Tempting Shortcut? GOAL THINKING CODE REVISE DEBUG TEST CODE Shortcut?

17. cosc175 - lec117 Programming Languages Definition: languages with strict grammar rules, symbols, and words used to construct a computer program Machine Languages –is not portable, runs only on specific type of computer –is made up of binary-coded instructions (strings of 0s and 1s) –is the language that can be directly used by the computer Assembly Language –Mnemonic codes are used for the op. codes instead of binary, EXA: LDA N, SUB B –assembly language program must be translated into machine language before it can be executed, ‘assembler’. High Level Languages –portable –similar to natural language –Requires compiler – translates high-level language into machine code – FORTRAN, Visual BASIC, COBOL, Pascal, Ada, C++, Java – most are standardized by ISO/ANSI

19. Assembly Language cosc175 - lec119

20. cosc175 - lec120 C++ 1972 : C created by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs => 90% of UNIX is then written in C 1983: C++ - Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs 1998 : ISO/ANSI standardization of C++ general-purpose programming language - many uses Flexible - few restrictions high demand for C,C++ programmers high level/low level Portable - leader in portability programmer oriented-"written by a professional programmer for professional programmers"

21. cosc175 - lec121 1. Edit: write and type the program (source code) in C++, Save as myProg.cpp 2: Compile: translate the source code into machine language => myprog.obj syntax error – violation of the rules of the language. 3: Link = bring in other code from libraries, bind the modules together, etc => myProg.exe 4: Run = run the executable file Logic errors (bug) – An error caused by a mistake in programming instructions.A logic error causes a program to operate wrongly or produce incorrect data, but not to stop working

22. cosc175 - lec122 Structured Programming  Top-down Design– divide and conquer  Modularity  subprograms  Stepwise refinement  The Structure Theorem- Use 3 basic control structures to solve any problem  Sequence  Selection (if-then-else)  Repetition (loop)

23. cosc175 - lec123 SEQUENCE Statement Display “Enter Name” Input name Display “Hello “ name

24. cosc175 - lec124 SELECTION (branch) IF Condition THEN Statement1 ELSE Statement2 Statement1 Statement Statement2 Condition... True False If (num > 0) Display “Positive” Else Display “Negative”

25. cosc175 - lec125 LOOP (repetition) Statement Condition... False True WHILE Condition DO Statement1

26. cosc175 - lec126 SUBPROGRAM (function) SUBPROGRAM1... SUBPROGRAM1 a meaningful collection of SEQUENCE, SELECTION, LOOP, SUBPROGRAM
