    Study Notes

    Introduction to C++

    • Algorithm: a set of well-defined steps to perform a task or solve a problem, with an emphasis on order and sequential execution.

    C++ Program Compilation

    • To create an executable file from a high-level program: • Create a source file containing program statements using a text editor. • Run the preprocessor to convert source file directives to source code program statements. • Run the compiler to convert source program statements into machine instructions (machine code), stored in an object file. • Run the linker to connect hardware-specific library code to machine instructions, producing an executable file.
    • Errors at any step will prevent the execution of following steps.
    • Modern software development systems often provide an integrated development environment (IDE) that combines these steps.

    Language Classification

    • Low-level languages: used for direct communication with computer hardware, but difficult for humans to read.
    • High-level languages: closer to human language, used for programming.
