7. To succeed in this course
Practice!!!
Test code (debug)

8. What’s Programming What is computer programming? What is an algorithm?
Interpretation of a task or algorithm in a computer language.
What is an algorithm?
A set of instructions for accomplishing a task.
Input and Output

9. What’s Programming How about preparing salad? Steps:
Clean and cut vegetables
Put sauce & cheese
Stir

10. What’s Programming -An example
The algorithm for sorting three integers in ascending order, given 20, 5, 8.
Steps: 5, 8, 20
To determine the concrete steps involved in solving a problem, we may
Logically represent the problem
Implement the logic in computer languages (c, c++, java, python, perl…)
Given a thousand integers?

11. Why Programming Manually operating – not possible
Google search engine (Searching in a File)

12. Basic Components of a Computer
CPU – central processing unit
RAM – random access memory
Computer data storage
Integrated circuits – randomly access with constant time
Permanent memory – hard disk
Computer peripheral – mouse, keyboard

13. Programming Platform
For omega access, each student that needs to have access to it will need to contact the help desk and request it. The best way is to call them at and ask to have omega access added to your NetID account.
Visual Studio download information:
al-studio-2010/index.php

14. First Example

15. First Example # include <stdio.h> int main( ) /* a … */
Tell compiler to include the information included in studio.h
int main( )
A function name
C programming consists of one or more functions (basic modules)
Parenthesis identify a function
Similar to the function defined in math
Arguments and return
/* a … */
Enclose comments (block), “//” – single line
Intended for the reader and ignored by the compiler

16. First Example
{ - the beginning of the function body (statements separated by “;”)
int num;
A declaration statement
num is an identifier
Declare a variable before using it
Traditionally, declare it at the beginning
Lowercase letters, uppercase letters, digits, the underscore
First character must be a letter or an underscore
Not key words

17. First Example num = 1; printf(“ ”) \n an assignment statement
Set space in memory
Reassign later
printf(“ ”)
Part of the standard C library, a function \n
Start a new line

18. First Example %d return - a return statement of a function
Placeholder/format specifier - where and in what form to print
return - a return statement of a function
} – the end of the function

19. A “Good” Program
There are different criteria by which one program may be considered better than another. Some examples are:
Readability – collaborative work
Maintainability – self-updated
Scalability – large-scale data set
Performance (e.g., how fast it runs or how much memory it uses)
