Introduction to Programming Lecture 1: Intro to C++ Askar Khaimuldin Senior-lecturer [email protected] Content Computer Program C++ as a first language Levels of programming Compiler and Linker IDE and books Computer program A sequence of instructions which can be executed by a computer is called a computer program or software These instructions are written in some programming language A finite, deterministic, and effective problem-solving method suitable for implementation as a computer program, typically to solve a bunch of problems or to perform a computation, is so called Algorithm (named after Muhammad ibn Musa al- Khwarizmi) C++ as a first language Standard by which all other languages are judged Full control on memory One of the fastest programming languages in terms of execution Facilitates structured and disciplined approach to computer program design Levels of programming High-level Middle-level Low-level Compiler and Linker Translator programs called compilers convert high-level language programs into machine language – also referred to as object code. A linker links the object code with the code for the missing functions to produce an executable program Types of Programming Procedure-Oriented Programming (POP) is based on the list of instructions where each statement tells the computer what to do step by step (Linear programming). Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of objects (Will be covered in the next course). IDE and books Which IDE to use? 1. Visual Studio 2019 (recommended) 2. Code::Blocks or Dev C++ 3. Xcode or Netbeans There are couple of books which are used to conduct this course: 1. Deitel P.J. and Deitel H.M. 2017. C++ How to Program, 10th global edition 2. Herbert Schildt. 2003. The Complete Reference C++, 4th edition Good luck
