5. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming5 Notes This course is NOT about the language per se, it’s about problem solving / analytical skills & to apply C to solve problems. Write C program in Linux environment Do early reading Do not hesitate to ask during lecture sessions

6. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming6 Outline Computer fundamentals Computer organization and hardware Computer software Programming languages Machine language Assembly language High-level language Algorithm : pseudocode and flowchart Control structures Simple C program

7. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming7 Computer Fundamentals Computer system are divided into hardware and software. Hardware refers to physical components of computers which are: Input Device Output Device Main memory Secondary memory device Central Processing Unit (CPU)

8. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming8 Computer Hardware Input Device Output Device Secondary Memory Control Unit Arithmetic and Logic Unit Register CPU Main Memory

9. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming9 Input/Output Device Input device - feeds data and programs into computers E.g. keyboard, mouse, touch screen, scanners Output device - display results produced by computer E.g. monitor, printer, speaker

10. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming10 Main Memory keeps information from the input unit also keeps processed information until it can be placed on output devices all programs must be loaded into main memory before they can be executed and all data must be brought into main memory before it can be manipulated.

11. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming11 Main Memory Main memory can be further classified into two types: Random Access Memory (RAM) information in RAM will be lost when the computer is turned-off. Read Only Memory (ROM) they have been set during the manufacturing process. ROM usually contains instructions and information considered to be fundamental to the computer.

12. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming12 Secondary Memory Main memory is only used during processing following certain instructions Permanent information is NOT stored in main memory but is stored in secondary memory E.g. program file, data fail etc E.g hard disk, diskette, CD

13. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming13 Central Processing Unit(CPU) CPU is the computer’s administrator and is responsible for supervising the operation of the other section Consists of two functional units: a control unit and an arithmetic-logic unit (ALU) Control unit supervises all activities of the computer system ALU perform basic arithmetic operations and comparison operations

14. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming14 Software As a complement to hardware, computer system needs software to solve problems. Software are classified into : System software Application software

15. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming15 System Software System software : manage the computer and its peripheral devices (hardware) E.g. Operating systems(OS) Text editor Preprocessor Language translator Linker Loader

16. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming16 Application Software Application software : performs specific tasks There are two types: Program to solve specific problems Program written by user to solve specified problem E.g word processor, desktop publishing software, spreadsheets, database, graphics, communication, program perform a specific task such as accounting, scientific, engineering, education etc

17. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming17 Programming Languages Programming language is divided into three categories: Machine Language Assembly Language High-Level Language

18. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming18 Machine Language Language understood by the computer Bunch of 0’s and 1’s Program written in machine language can be executed without being translated Nevertheless, hard to learn because it is written in 0’s and 1’s Program is too long to solve simple problem Machine-dependant and not portable E.g. 0101 1000 0101 1001 1100 0111 0101 0001 1100 0100 1011 1000

19. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming19 Assembly Language Strings of 0’s and 1’s are replaced into instructions which resembles English language to represent computer operation element Easier to understand and written E.g LOAD rate MULThour STORwages

20. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming20 Assembly Language Nevertheless, need language translator called Assembler to change Assembly Language to Machine Code for execution purpose still too long and not portable

21. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming21 High-Level Language Improve weaknesses in Machine Language and Assembly Language portable Written in one instruction to carry out several instruction in machine level E.g. discount_price = price – discount; Must be changed to machine code before executed, need compiler : a system software that translate source program to object program

22. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming22 Algorithms The solution to any computing problem involves executing a series of actions in a specific order

23. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming23 Algorithms Pseudocode : artificial and informal language that helps programmers develop algorithms E.g. if student’s grade is greater than or equal to 50 Print “Pass” else Print “Fail”

24. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming24 Algorithms Flowchart: visual-form of an algorithm E.g. Process 2 Decision Data Process 1 Begin End

25. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming25 Algorithm-Basic symbols in a flowchart Start/ End Process Input/Output Decision Flow direction Connector

26. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming26 Flowchart-(E.g) Start read num1, num2 sum=num1+num2 print sum End

27. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming27 Control Structure All programs could be written in terms of three control structures: Sequence structure Selection structure Repetition structure

28. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming28 Sequence structure Is a series of steps executed sequentially by default Read num1,num2 Calculate total=num1+num2 Print total PseudocodeFlowchart Read num1,num2 total = num1+num2 print total

29. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming29 Selection structure Used to choose among alternative courses of action C has three types: if, if.. else, and switch

30. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming30 The if selection structure if structure is a single-entry/single-exit structure true false grade >= 60 print “Passed” If student’s grade is greater than or equal to 60 Print “Passed”

31. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming31 The if..else selection structure Specifies an action to be performed both when the condition is true and when it is false truefalse print “Failed”print “Passed” grade >= 60 If student’s grade is greater than or equal to 60 Print “Passed” else Print “Failed”

32. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming32 Repetition structure Specifies a block of one or more statements that are repeatedly executed until a condition is satisfied Three types : while, for, do-while

33. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming33 The while repetition structure Programmer specifies an action is to be repeated while some conditions remains true product <= 1000 product = 2 * product true false While product is less than or equal 1000 calculate product=2 * product

34. UniMAP Sem1-08/09EKT120: Computer Programming34 Simple C Program //This program will calculate number of RM 50, RM 20, RM 10, RM 5 and RM 1 notes //for a given value entered by user. #include int main(void) { int value, balance; int note50, note20, note10, note5, note1; printf("Enter value in RM : "); scanf("%d",&value); note50 = value / 50; balance = value % 50; note20 = balance /20; balance = balance % 20; note10 = balance / 10; balance = balance % 10; note5 = balance / 5; note1 = balance % 5; printf("Number of RM 50 notes : %d\n", note50); printf("Number of RM 20 notes : %d\n", note20); printf("Number of RM 10 notes : %d\n", note10); printf("Number of RM 5 notes :%d\n", note5); printf("Number of RM 1 notes :%d\n", note1); return 0; }
