Introduction to Computer Programming

Computer programming is an essential part of the work of many scientists and engineers. This semester we will teach the C++ Programming Language which
is not easy to learn (compared to Fortran) Is a huge language with a lot of technical details is good at system and application programming is mostly prefered by engineers and young programmers! is widely used in the software industry We will concentrate on only a very basic/minimal subset of C++

Computer Labs
We will learn C++ using the Dev-C++ compiler under Windows; you may also use Linux , e.g. Ubuntu, gul4.bim... Every week you should write a few programs yourself in the BIM lab (and more in your free time). In the BIM Computer Labs your programs will be deleted when the computer reboots. So you need to save them on a flash drive or on the internet.

DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR LAPTOP or FLASH DISK WITH YOU

The Computer
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer A computer is a machine that manipulates data according to a set of instructions. The first computers were developed in 19401945, they were very large in size! Modern computers are based on integrated circuits making them very fast and small in size.

Parts of a Digital Computer

A computer can be divided into two main parts: Hardware and Software.
Hardware (=Donanm) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware Hardware is the electronic and mechanical parts of the computer. - Storage Units - Input Units - Output Units - Process Units
Sayfa 11

Parts of a Digital Computer

Storage Units
These are used in both input and output of data:
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) high capacity, relatively cheap, slow. RAM (Random Access Memory) low capacity, expensive, but very fast. Others: Flash memory (memory cards, USB flash drives), CD, DVD...

Sayfa 12

Parts of a Digital Computer

Input Units
Used for input of data:
Keyboard, Mouse Touch screen/pad RAM, HDD Flash memory

Sayfa 13

Parts of a Digital Computer

Output Units
Used for output of data:
Monitor Printer Speaker RAM HDD Flash Memory

Sayfa 14

Parts of a Digital Computer

Process Units
CPU: Central Processing Unit This coordinates the operation of computer system and performs arithmetic logic operations. Input unit CPU Output unit

Sayfa 15

Parts of a Digital Computer

A program is input from an HDD(1) and executed in RAM(2). Data is input from a keyboard(3) which is again stored in RAM(4). The CPU operates on the program and data in RAM(5) and outputs results to the HDD(6) as well as the monitor(7). This is all controlled by the CPU requiring only basic data flow instructions from the programmer.
Sayfa 16

Parts of a Digital Computer

Software (=Yazlm) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software Software consists of programs loaded from storage units. The programs execute on the computer hardware forming, for example, Operating System (OS) Compilers Application Programs

Sayfa 17

Parts of a Digital Computer

Operating System (OS)
The OS is a program written to interface between the computer and its user. All other software runs under the OS. Examples are: Miscrosoft Windows (XP, Vista, 7) Linux (e.g. Redhat, Ubuntu, Pardus) Mac OS X. These are all created using C++
Sayfa 18

Parts of a Digital Computer

Compilers
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compiler Many programming languages require a compiler to translate the statements of program written in a high level language into a low level language (machine code). Examples are: Fortran C, C++ Java Pascal Basic. These are all created using C++
Sayfa 19

Parts of a Digital Computer

Application Programs
These are (usually compiled) programs written to perform a specific task. Examples are: Microsoft Word AutoCAD Mozilla Firefox.... These are all created using C++

An Engineer and Computers

Engineers use computers extensively to produce and analyze designs; to simulate and test how a machine, structure, or system operates; to generate specifications for parts; to monitor the quality of products; and to control the efficiency of processes
