Study Notes
Computer Program
- A sequence of instructions that a computer can execute is called a computer program or software
- Instructions are written in a programming language
- An algorithm is a finite, deterministic, and effective problem-solving method that is used to solve a bunch of problems, or to perform a computation
C++ as a First Language
- C++ serves as a standard for judging other languages
- It facilitates full control over memory
- C++ is one of the fastest programming languages in terms of execution
- C++ promotes structured and disciplined program design
Levels of Programming
- Programming is categorized into three levels:
- High-level
- Middle-level
- Low-level
Compiler and Linker
- A compiler is a translator program that converts high-level programming languages into machine language (object code).
- A linker links the object code with missing function code to produce an executable program.
Types of Programming
- Procedure-Oriented Programming (POP) is based on step-by-step instructions, using linear programming
- Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is based on objects, and will be covered in a separate course
IDE and Books
- Recommended IDE's:
- Visual Studio 2019
- Code::Blocks or Dev C++
- Xcode or Netbeans
- Useful Books:
- Deitel P.J. and Deitel H.M. 2017. C++ How to Program, 10th global edition
- Herbert Schildt. 2003. The Complete Reference C++, 4th edition
