    Study Notes

    Linking Process and C++ Language

    • C++ is a high-level language used in this module, derived from C programming language.
    • C language was first developed by Dennis Ritchie at the AT&T Bell Laboratories for implementing the UNIX Operating System.

    Designing Programs

    • The design process of a computer program has six stages:
      • Write the problem statement
      • Define inputs, computation, and outputs
      • Generate test data
      • Write the algorithm using pseudo-code or flow chart
      • Translate the algorithm into a program (coding)
      • Compile, debug, and test the program
    • Three major steps are:
      • Define inputs, computation, and outputs
      • Write the algorithm using pseudo-code or flow chart
      • Translate the algorithm into a program (coding)

    Computer Basics

    • A computer system is made up of hardware and software
    • Hardware includes physical devices such as processing units, keyboard, screen, and memory
    • Basic computer architecture consists of four main parts:
      • Central Processing Unit (CPU)
      • Memory
      • I/O Interfacing Circuitry
      • Data Bus, Address Bus, and Control Bus

    Central Processing Unit (CPU)

    • Controls system operations
    • Consists of three subsystems:
      • Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU)
      • Clock
      • Control Unit
    • Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) performs arithmetic and logic operations

    Flowchart Symbols

    • Start and end of module or function (terminator)
    • Processing block
    • Input and output
    • Decision flow
    • Flow direction

    Algorithm Design

    • Example of designing a program to calculate a person's age in months and days
    • Inputs needed: name and age (in years)
    • Program has to calculate age in months and days
    • Outputs: name, age (in years), and computed values

    Writing Algorithms using Pseudocode

    • Pseudocode is an informal way of writing an algorithm
    • Example of writing an algorithm using pseudocode to calculate age in months and days
