2. Outline 2  Introduction to computer  Programming Languages  C# Language Overview

3. Definition of Computer 3  Devices for performing computations at high speeds with great accuracy  A machine that can be programmed to manipulate symbols.  A machine that can quickly store and retrieve large amounts of data.  Physical components are known as “Hardware” Introduction to computer

4. Computer Categories 4 Desktop Computer Laptop, Notebook Tablets, Smart Phones Personal Computer High Computation Power Servers, etc Supercomputer and Mainframe Introduction to computer

5. Computer Systems  Hardware  Actual physical machines (equipment) that make up the computer 5  Software  Programs written for a specific application are often called software Introduction to computer

6. Computer Components CPU (Central Processing Unit)Primary storage (memory) Secondary storage (disks, tapes, etc.)Input devices (mouse, keyboard, etc.) Output devices (screen, printer, etc.) 6 Introduction to computer

7. Data Processing INPUT Processing Primary storage OUTPUT Commands Data results Secondary storage Introduction to computer

8. Computer Storage RAMROM 8 Introduction to computer Primary Storage Secondary Storage Read Only Non - Volatile Can Read/Write Volatile Much Faster More expensive Slower Less expensive Computer Storage

9. Data Representation 9  Data in computer is represented in “ bit ”  bit = binary digit 0 or 1  Byte = 8 bits  1 byte can represent many kinds of data 1 byte = 01100001 the above 1 byte represents character “a” or 97 the meaning of 1 byte depends on the program 1 Kbyte = 2 10 = 1024 bytes 1 Mbyte = 2 20 = 1,048,576 bytes 1 Gbyte = 2 30 = 1,073,741,824 bytes 1 Tbyte = 2 40 = 1,099,511,627,776 bytes Introduction to computer

11. Outline 11  Introduction to computer  Programming Languages  C# Language Overview

12. Programming Languages 12  Program  A set of instructions for a computer to follow, written in specific programming language  Types of programming language  High-Level Language  Assembly Language  Machine Language Programming Languages

13. High-level VS Assembly VS Machine Language 13  High-level Language  Nearly like human word SUM := A * 2 + ALPHA/3;  Assembly Language  Some key words are understandable MULL3A, #2, R ADDL3R6, R7, SUM  Machine Language  Only “ 0 ” and “ 1 ” 00011000011 00011001111 10011000111 Computer itself understands only Machine language

17. IDE Software  Integrated Development Environment  Code editor  Compiler/interpreter  Debugger  E.g., SharpDevelop 17 Programming Languages

18. High-Level Languages  Procedural Language  Fortran  Cobol  Basic  C  Pascal  Object-Oriented Language  C++  Java  C#  Functional Language  Lisp  Logic Language  Prolog 18 Programming Languages

20. A simple C# Program 20 Grouping using { } C# Language Overview

21. A simple C# Program 21 A statement must be ended with semicolon “;” C# Language Overview

22. A simple C# Program 22 C# syntax is case-sensitive namespaceNAMEspace Main()main() C# Language Overview

23. A simple C# Program 23 White space means nothing static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); } static void Main(string[] args){ Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");} C# Language Overview

24. A simple C# Program 24 Anything between /* */ or after // is considered a comment Comments will not be translated C# Language Overview

25. Program Structure  The starting point of the program is:  This is known as the method Main  A method is put inside a class  A class may be put inside a namespace static void Main () {... starting point... } static void Main () {... starting point... } 25 C# Language Overview

26. Program Structure  In C#  A program can contain several namespaces  A namespace can contain several classes  A class can contain several methods  In other words  Think of a namespace as a container of classes  Think of a class as a container of methods method1 method2 namespace Class Class 26 C# Language Overview

27. Program Structure  For this 01204111 course  Program with only one class and at most one namespace  For now until sometime before midterm  Program with one method (i.e., Main) namespace HelloW { class HelloWClass { static void Main () { System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); System.Console.ReadLine(); } namespace HelloW { class HelloWClass { static void Main () { System.Console.WriteLine("Hello World!"); System.Console.ReadLine(); } 27 C# Language Overview

28. Naming  C# allows user to give a name to something.  A user-defined name can be any word with some rules.  Remember!!! C# is a case-sensitive language. * Case Sensitive Example KU ≠ kU ≠ku KU ≠ kU ≠ ku C# Language Overview 28

29. Naming Rules  Letters, digits and underscores(_)  First character must be a letter or _  Up to 63 characters long  Must not be a reserved word C# Language Overview 29 Example nameName _data 9point class class_Aclass_"A" point9
