    Study Notes

    Programming Fundamentals

    • Programming: a series of instructions to a computer to accomplish a task
    • Instructions must be written in a way the computer can understand
    • Programming languages are used to write programs

    Types of Programming Languages

    • High-Level Languages: closer to human language, examples: C#, FORTRAN, PASCAL, PROLOG, JAVA.NET
    • Mid-Level Languages: bind the gap between machine level language and high-level languages, examples: C, C++
    • Low-Level Languages: deal with hardware registers by name, example: Assembly Language
    • Machine Language: the lowest-level programming language, executed directly by a computer's CPU, example: "0110101100101000"

    Structured Programming

    • A disciplined approach to programming
    • Top-down design: a program is divided into a main module and its related modules, each module is divided into sub-modules
    • Advantages:
      • Easier to understand code
      • Easier to test and debug code
      • Easier to modify and maintain code
      • Easier to work with others on large programs
    • 4 Control Structures:
      • Sequence
      • Selection
      • Iteration
      • Module

    Programming Stages

    • The Four Stages of Compiling a C Program:
      • Preprocessing: removal of comments, expansion of macros, expansion of included files
      • Compilation: compilation of source code into executable instructions
      • Assembly: conversion of assembly language's source code into machine language
      • Linking: linking of object files into an executable program

    Interpreters, Compilers, and Assemblers

    • Interpreter: converts source code into machine code, usually on a step-by-step basis, example: BASIC
    • Compiler: compiles source code into executable instructions, example: C compiler
    • Assembler: converts assembly language's source code into machine language, example: GNU assembler
