Study Notes
- The subject is an introduction to computing, covering general program structure.
- The objectives are to define programs, establish their parts, and describe instruction types in programming languages.
- The conceptual content includes programs, their constituent parts, and instruction types.
Programming Concept
- A computer program consists of instructions given to a machine to execute a task.
- Programs serve as a means to an end, typically solving problems using necessary information.
- Programming is a problem-solving process that requires the programmer to determine a set of specifications.
- Specifications include input, output, and resolution algorithms to deliver outputs from given inputs.
Program Constituent Parts
- The key parts are Entry, Program and Exit.
Instructions and Instruction Types
- Algorithm design, including actions or instructions for problem-solving.
- Actions or instructions are written, then stored in memory in their execution order in sequence.
- Programs can be linear, executing instructions sequentially without bifurcations or decisions.
- Instructions in algorithms are known as actions.
- Programs become non-linear when the execution order is interrupted by branching instructions.
- Instruction types are dependent on the programming language.
- Study focuses on basic actions applicable in any algorithm and supported across all languages.
- Instruction examples:
- Start/end.
- Assignment.
- Reading.
- Writing.
- Branching.
Assignment Instructions
- A ← 80 will assign the value of 80 to the variable A.
- After instructions A ←12, B ← A, and C ← B, variables A, B, and C will each contain the value 12.
Data Reading Instructions (Entry)
- This reads data from an entry device.
- The instruction "read (NUMBER, HOURS, RATE)" reads NUMBER, HOURS, and RATE values from a terminal and stores them in memory.
- Inputting "12325, 32, 1200" assigns these values to the respective variables.
Result Writing Instructions (Entry)
- These are written to a exit device.
- Printing values 100, 200, and 300, held by variables A, B, and C, displays or prints these values.
Branching Instructions
- Linear program development is interrupted when a branching instruction is executed and can branch forward or backwards.
- Branching in a program flow occurs conditionally.
- Unconditional branching always occurs when program flow passes the instruction, regardless of any condition.
- Conditional branching follows one of two actions.
- If a condition is met, action F2 goes ahead , otherwise F1 goes ahead.
