DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Computer programming Computer Programming is defined as the process of creating computer software using a programming Language. Computer programs are written by Human individuals(Programmers) A computer program is a step by step set of instructions that a computer has to work through in a logical sequence in order to carry out a particular task. The computer executes these instructions (obeys the instructions) when told to do so by the user. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Programming Languages Programming languages are the vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer to perform specific tasks. There are many different types of programming languages each having a unique set of keywords (words that it understands) and a special syntax (grammar)for organising program instructions. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Syntax Syntax refers to the spelling and grammar of a programming language. Each program defines its own syntactical rules that control which words the computer understands, which combinations of words are meaningful, and what punctuation is necessary. Text-based programming languages are based on sequences of characters, while visual programming languages are based on the spatial layout and connections between symbols (which may be textual or graphical). DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) Introduction to Programming Language Example of a program code (small basic) TextWindow.Writeline("enter the Temperature in fahrenheit ") fahr = TextWindow.ReadNumber() celsius = (5 * (fahr - 32) / 9) TextWindow.WriteLine("This Temperature in celcius is " + celsius +" degrees") DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Example of a program code (small basic) This code in previous example of a simple program written in Small Basic, a beginner-friendly programming language designed to teach basic programming concepts. Here's a breakdown of what each line does: Code Explanation: 1. TextWindow.Writeline("enter the Temperature in fahrenheit ")  This displays the message "enter the Temperature in fahrenheit " in the console or text window.  It prompts the user to input a temperature in Fahrenheit. 2. fahr = TextWindow.ReadNumber()  This waits for the user to input a numeric value (the temperature in Fahrenheit) and assigns it to the variable fahr. 3. celsius = (5 * (fahr - 32) / 9)  This calculates the equivalent temperature in Celsius using the formula: Celsius=59×(Fahrenheit−32)Celsius= 95​ ×(Fahrenheit−32) 4. TextWindow.WriteLine("This Temperature in celcius is " + celsius +" degrees")  This outputs the result in Celsius to the console or text window.  The message includes the calculated Celsius value (celsius) and appends " degrees" to make the output DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) clear and user-friendly.  Introduction to Programming Language Small Basic TextWindow.Write("Enter the temperature today (in F):") temp = TextWindow.ReadNumber() If temp > 100 Then TextWindow.WriteLine("It is pretty hot.") ElseIf temp > 70 Then TextWindow.WriteLine("It is pretty nice.") ElseIf temp > 50 Then TextWindow.WriteLine("Don't forget your coat.") Else TextWindow.WriteLine("Stay home.") EndIf DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Levels of programming languages There are many computer programming languages and so the programmer will have to decide which one to use for solving a particular problem. These languages must be learnt just as Swahili, English or French etc. Programming languages are classified into five major categories: machine languages (first generation languages), assembly languages (second generation languages), third generation languages, fourth generation languages, and natural languages. Machine and assembly languages are referred to as low level languages; third generation, fourth generation and natural languages are categorised as high level languages. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Levels of programming languages A low level language is machine dependent; that is, it is written to run on one particular computer. A high level language is machine independent, which means the high level language code can run on many different types of computer. There are two types of low-level programming languages: Machine Language and Assembly Language. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Machine language – First Generation Language (1GL) The machine language writes programs using the machine code of 1s and 0s, which is directly understood by the computer. The main problems with using machine code directly are that it is very easy to make a mistake, and very hard to find it once you realise the mistake has been made. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Characteristics of 1GL Fastest to execute because it is already in the language that the computer can understand Difficult to interpret (requires the aid of a reference manual to interpret the meaning of each code) Easy to make mistakes in the sequence of 1s and 0s; replacing a 1 for a 0 can result in the wrong command/instruction being executed It is difficult to identify mistakes made Time-consuming and tedious to write Machine dependent Programing becomes more difficult as the complexity of the program increases DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Assembly language – Second Generation Language (2GL) Assembly language is written using mnemonic codes (abbreviated English words) or short codes that suggest their meaning and are therefore easier to remember. These codes represent operations, addresses that relate to main memory, and storage registers of the computer. Typical codes might be: LDA, STO, ADD, NOP, etc. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Assembly language – Second Generation Language (2GL) An example of a program code to add and store two numbers would be: LDA A, 20 : load accumulator A with the value 20 ADD A, 10 : add the value 10 to accumulator A STO B, A : store contents of accumulator A into storage register B NOP : no operation (stop here) DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Characteristics of 2GL As with machine language, assembly language is machine dependent. Assembly language, being machine dependent, is faster and more efficient in the use of hardware than high-level programming languages. Assembly languages have to be translated into machine language by language translators known as assemblers for the processor to understand. Easier to write than machine language The code is not very easy to understand, hence the introduction of high level programming languages. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language High-level programming languages High level programming language is defined as one that is machine independent and uses variables and objects, Boolean expressions, functions, loops, arrays, threads, locks which are similar to their meaning (abstraction). High-level languages have evolved over the years and can be grouped into five categories: Third Generation Languages (3GL), Fourth Generation Languages (4GL), Object Oriented Programming Languages (OOP), Fifth Generation Languages (5GL) and Scripting Languages DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language High-level programming languages These languages are problem oriented, so they are machine independent. Since high-level languages reflect the logic and procedures used in a human algorithm, the programmer is able to concentrate on developing task algorithms rather than on how the computer will carry out the instructions. the programmer must still specify a complete set of detailed instructions. The words and grammar of high-level languages are English-like and this makes the programs more readable and easy to write. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language High-level programming languages high-level languages are machine independent (they can be used on different computer systems); Since the syntaxes of high-level languages are standardised, the languages are portable. A high-level language is governed by a strict syntax (set of grammatical rules). they are easier to read, write, and maintain. They also permit faster development of large programs. programs written in a high-level language must be translated into machine language by a compiler or interpreter. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Characteristics of high-level languages They are machine independent hence portable They are user friendly and easy to learn High-level language programs are easy to debug They are more flexible hence they enhance the creativity of the programmer, increasing productivity They are executed much slower than low-level programming languages They have to be translated into machine code before execution, this is done by compilers and Assemblers. One instruction translates into several machine code instructions DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Major high level programming languages used FORTRAN (FOTmula TRAnslator)developed in the late 1950s developed to design scientific applications COBOL (Common Business Oriented Language) developed in early 1960s to develop business applications. RPG (Report Program generator) was developed in early 1960s to assist in generating reports and complex calculations. BASIC (Beginner’s All-purpose symbolic instruction code) developed in mid 1960 Basic versions include MS-BASIC, QBASIC, SmallBASIC and visual basic. Pascal was developed in the late 1960s for the purpose of teaching structured programming concepts DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Major high level programming languages used C developed in the early 1970s to write system software Ada was developed in the late 1970s originally developed to meet the needs of embedded computer systems C++ developed in the 1980s is an object-oriented language mainly to develop application software There are many other programming languages that have been developed such as JavaScript, and Python DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Language Translators Language translators are system programs that convert assembly language and high-level language into the machine language. The computer does not understand assembly languages or high-level languages. Computers work in machine code or machine language. Source code Source code is a program code of either an assembly language or high-level language that the programmers write in a program editor. Source code cannot be understood by the computer until it has been translated into machine code. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Object code Object code is a program code in machine-readable form (a source program that has been translated). DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Assemblers and Compilers and Interpreters Assemblers and Compilers are programs that convert high level languages into machine code. A Compiler is a program that converts the entire source code(compiles it) into machine language at one time before the computer can run the program at a later time. While compiling the source code into machine code, it checks that the syntax is properly written by the programmer for the programmer to debug the program. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Assemblers and Compilers and Interpreters The interpreters are programs that translates the high level program code one statement at a time, that is, it reads a code statement, converts it to one or more machine language instructions, and then executes the instruction before moving translating the next code statement in the program. If there is any error in the statement, the programmer can correct the error before the interpreter evaluates the next statement. Interpreters are slower than Compilers because interpreters convert a statement at a time and runs it before moving to the next line. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Assemblers The assembly-language program must be translated into machine code by a separate program called an assembler. The assembler program recognises the character strings that make up the symbolic names of the various machine operations, and substitutes the required machine code for each instruction. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Compilers Compilers are language translators that translate high-level languages into machine code. A compiler translates the entire program (source code) to machine code, and then the code is executed. The translated codes are known as How a Compiler works object codes and are saved as a file on disk. The object code (machine code) stored on disk has an EXE file name extension. It is then loaded or linked (stored in memory) and executed DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Interpreters Interpreters are language translators that translate high-level language into machine code. An interpreter translates and executes one instruction at a time as it is encountered. The machine codes are not saved after execution How an Interpreter works DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Defining the problem In defining the problem there must be no ambiguity. The problem should be clear and concise and have only one meaning. Examples of unambiguous problems are: i) Calculating the price of an item after a 10% discount ii) Converting a temperature from ° C to ° F iii) Computing the average rainfall for the month of May in a certain place. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Input and storage instructions These instructions allow data to be accepted by the computer. The data input is needed by the computer to solve the problem. Words such as ‘Enter’, ‘Input’ and ‘Read’ within problem statements usually indicate what data the computer requires. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Input and storage instructions i) Calculating the price of an What are the input and storage item after a 10% discount instructions here? ii) Calculate the age of the Read the price of an item and calculate students the discount of 10%. iii) temperature in degrees Enter the name and year of birth of a Fahrenheit. person and calculate the person’s age. Enter a temperature in degrees Celsius and convert it to degrees Fahrenheit. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) Introduction to Programming Language Processing instructions These instructions manipulate the input data. They involve calculations, that is, mathematical operations (e.g. addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), repeating instructions, selecting instructions and comparison instructions. They also include commands and constructs. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language Processing instructions Let’s analyse these instructions to What are the processing instructions here? determine what we need to process. Read the price of an item and calculate the new price after a 10% Calculate the new price after a discount. 10% discount.

DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2)  Introduction to Programming Language A command is a word that instructs the computer what must be done to accomplish a specific task. Commands are specific to a particular programming language: for example, WRITE, PRINT, READ, INPUT, etc. A construct is a group of instructions that work together with commands to accomplish a specific task. An example is the ‘IF-THEN’ construct: IF a < 10 THEN READ Num ENDIF Example of a construct DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) introduction to python DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) Introduction Python Programming Language Basics of Programming Language Problem-solving skill involves identifying issues, formulating problems, devising solutions, and communicating them Computer program is a comprehensive, step-by-step set of instructions that tells a computer exactly what it should be doing.

High-level and assembly-level languages are then converted into binary coded signals (1’s and 0’s) to allow computational hardware and software to communicate. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) Introduction Python Programming Language Basics of Programming Language Learning to code is crucial because it enhances problem-solving and logic abilities, leverages technology to power business operations, and facilitates fine-tuning. Learning to code leads to better job prospects. Programmers make apps, websites, and other digital products that change how people live worldwide. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) Introduction Python Programming Language Programming Versus Software “Programming” involves giving the computer the instructions and data it needs on time. Programming Mechanism-The process of programming is intricate. Programming is done in phases, such as composing problem statements, drawing flowcharts, designing coding algorithms, writing a computer program, analyzing and evaluating software, technical writing, keeping software up to date, and so on. DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) Introduction Python Programming Language Programming Versus Software Computer software is a set of program instructions. An algorithm is a set of instructions explaining how a particular computation should be performed in detail. A programming language is a language for writing down the instructions that a computer will follow. It has a structure of syntax (precise form) and semantics (actual meaning). DATA INPUT AND MANIPULATION (2271-INE-2) Introduction Python Programming Language Programming Versus Software There are two types of languages, namely low-level languages and high- level languages.
