Study Notes
Program Fundamentals
- A program is a set of instructions that a computer can execute to perform a specific task or set of tasks.
System Programs
- System programs are a type of program that manages and controls computer hardware components and provides a platform for running application software.
- Examples of system programs include operating systems, device drivers, and utility programs.
Program Development Life Cycle
- The program development life cycle is the process of designing, writing, testing, and maintaining a program.
- It involves several stages, including planning, coding, testing, debugging, and deployment.
Types of Computer Programs
- There are two basic types of computer programs: system programs and application programs.
- System programs manage and control computer hardware components and provide a platform for running application software.
- Application programs perform specific tasks or provide services to users.
Purpose of System Programs
- The purpose of a system program is to manage and control computer hardware components and provide a platform for running application software.
Functions in C
- Library functions are pre-written functions that are provided by the C programming language and can be used by programmers to perform specific tasks.
- User-defined functions are created by programmers to perform specific tasks and are not part of the C programming language.
- When the compiler encounters a function call, it checks if the function is defined and matches the function call.
- A function with no arguments and no return value is a void function.
- A self-contained block of program statements that performs a particular task is a function.
- A function that can take arguments and returns a value is a non-void function.
