Where Do We Stand?

Early days of computing

Programmers were satisfied with assembly language

Programs written by technically oriented people

Later decades

Programmers demanded a more comfortable programming environment

Programs could be written by “nontechie” people

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 5

High-level Languages

High-level programming languages

Called third-generation languages

Overcame deficiencies of assembly language

Programmer didn’t need to manage details of data storage or movement

Transitions of a High-level Language Program

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 7

Simple C++ Program/* Get a number input from the user and print it out */

#include <iostream>using std::cout;using std::cin

int main(){ // Prompt user, define a variable for num, input a value.cout << "Please input an integer: ";int num;cin >> num;

// Output resultcout << "The number you entered";cout << " is " << num << "\n";

return 0}

Overall Form of a Typical C++ Program prologue Comment (optional) include directives (optional) using directives (optional) functions (optional) main function{

declarations (optional)main function body

}

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 9

Introduction to C++

Some components of program in Figure 8.2

Comments

Give information to human readers of code

Include directive

The linker includes object code from a library

Using directive

Tells compiler to look in a namespace for definitions not mentioned in the program

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 10

Data Types

Identifiers: names in a programming language

Keywords: have special meanings in C++

C++: case-sensitive, free-format language

Data items can be constants or variables

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 11

Data Types (continued)

A declaration of a data item tells

Whether the item is a constant or a variable

The identifier used to name the item

The data type of the item

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 12

Data Types (continued)

Some of C++ standard data types

int a positive or negative integer

doublea real number( double precision )

float a real number ( single precision )

char a character ( single keyboard character like ‘t’

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 13

Data Types(continued)Data Declarations

double radius; Allocates space for a type double data item Associates the name radius with this item Associates a set of valid operations with this item

double circumference = 34.5; Same as above, plus? Gives it an initial value (initializes it)

See sample programs

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 14

Data Types(continued)

Data Declarations double radius, circumference, area;

Declares three separate data items of type double

const double PI = 3.1416; Allocates space for type double data item Associates the name PI with this item Associates a set of valid operations with this item Initializes the item with the value 3.1416 Cannot be changed. It is a constant.

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 15

Statement Types

Input/output statement

Input statement

Collects a specific value from the user for a variable within the program

Output statement

Writes a message or the value of a program variable to the user’s screen or to a file

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 16

Statement Types (continued)

Assignment statement

Assigns a value to a program variable

Control statement

Directs the flow of control

Can cause it to deviate from usual sequential flow

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 17

Input/Output Statements

Example Pseudocode

Get value for Radius C++

cin >> Radius;

cin: input stream Code for extraction operator (>>) and the

definition of the cin stream come from the iostream library and std namespace

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 18

/*circle01.cpp

Gets the radius of a circle*/

#include <iostream>using std::cin;using std::cout;

int main() { double radius = 0.0;

cout << "Please enter the radius " << '\n';

cin >> radius;

return 0;}

i/o example #1

cout – prompt user for data

<< (insertion operator)

cin – store data in a variable

>> (extraction operator)

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 19

Input/Output Statements (continued) Example

Pseudocode Print the value of Circumference

C++ cout << Circumference;

cout: output stream Code for the insertion operator (<<) and the

definition of the cout stream come from the iostream library and std namespace

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 20

/*circle02.cpp

Gets the radius of a circle*/

#include <iostream>using std::cin;using std::cout;

int main() { double radius = 0.0;

cout << "Please enter the radius " << '\n';

cin >> radius;

cout << “The radius you entered is “ << radius;

return 0;}

i/o example #2

cout – prompt user for data

<< (insertion operator)

cin – store data in a variable

>> (extraction operator)

cout – output data entered

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 21

The Assignment Statement

General form Pseudocode

Set the value of “variable” to “arithmetic expression” C++

variable = expression;

1. Expression on the right is evaluated

2. The result is written into the memory location named on the left

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 22

Expressions in C++

Operator Precedence Associativity

( ) 1 na

+, - , ++, -- , ! ( unary ) 2 L->R (+a, -a, ++a, --a, !a)R->L (a++, a--)

*, /, % 3 L->R

+, - 4 L->R

<, >, <=, >= 5 L->R

==, != 6 L->R

&& 7 L->R

|| 8 L->R

= 9 R->L

An expression in C++ is a sequence of operators and operands which adhere to the C++ syntax rules. The operators are grouped according to an order of precedence, and associativity

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 23

Expressions in C++

Example 1: a = b + c * d;

Example 2: a = b + c * d – e;

Example 3: a = (b + c) * (d-e);

Example 4: a = b / c;

Example 5: a = b % c;

Example 6: a = b = c – d;

Other: +=, -=, *= , /=, %= ???

Assume b = 5, c = 3, d = 4, e = 2

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 24

/*circle03.cpp Gets the radius of a circle, calculates

it’s circumference and prints out the result*/

#include <iostream>using std::cin;using std::cout;

int main() { const double PI = 3.14159; double radius = 0.0, circumference = 0.0;

cout << "Please enter the radius " << '\n'; cin >> radius; circumference = 2 * PI * radius;

cout << “The circumference is: “ ; cout << circumference << “.\n”;

return 0;}

i/o example #3

cout – prompt user for data

<< (insertion operator)

cin – store data in a variable

>> (extraction operator)

cout – output data entered

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 25

Control Statements

Data Types Revisited

How to declare a data item which is a group of integers, doubles, chars…

int Hits[12]; // web page hits Allocates space for group of 12 integers Associates the name Hits with this group of integers Associates a set of valid operations with Hits

Each integer in Hits has it’s own ‘name’ The first integer is Hits[0]… the last is Hits[11]

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 34

Data Types Revisited

An array Groups together a collection of memory locations,

all storing data of the same type

Figure 8.6

A 12-Element Array Hits

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 35

Data Types Revisited(continued)

Declaring a group of arrays ( i.e. a table )

double WaterReadings [2] [3] Allocates space for two arrays of three real numbers

6 total numbers Associates the name WaterReadings with this ‘table’ Associates set of valid operations with this ‘table’

Each element in WaterReadings has it’s own name The number at row 1, column 2 is WaterReadings[1][2] The number at row 0, column 0 is WaterReadings[0][0]

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 36

Data Types Revisited(continued) Initializing an array

Int Hits[12] = {3,6,7,22,25,12,34, 9, 3,17,15,2}; Int Hits[ ] = {3,6,7,22,25,12,34, 9, 3,17,15,2};

Same as above

Int Hits[12] = {3,6,7,22}; Initializes first 4 as specified Last 12 get 0

double WaterReadings [2][3] = { {14.3, 15.2, 16.4}, {13.9, 14.2, 12.7} };

int myValue[2][3] = { {0}, {0} }; // ?

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 37

Intro to C++

Let’s look at some programs using arrays

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 38

Putting the Pieces Together

At this point, we can: Perform input and output

Assign values to variables

Direct the flow of control using conditional statements or looping

For a complete program, we need to: Assemble the statements in the correct order

Fill in the missing pieces

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 39

High-level Languages Revisited Expectations of a high-level language program

Programmer can take a macroscopic view of tasks; “primitive operations” can be larger

Programs will be portable

Code will be closer to standard English and use standard mathematical notation

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 40

High-level Languages Revisited Consider equation: ax2 + bx + c = 0 The roots are x = ( –b sqrt(b2 – 4ac) ) / 2a Using a high level language we could write:

discrim = b*b – 4*a*c;

root1 = (-b + sqrt(discrim)) / (2*a);

root2 = (-b – sqrt(discrim)) / (2*a);

This closely resembles the way we look at the problemmathematically

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 41

Virtual Data Storage

Programs dealing with ‘circles’ might deal with: Circle as geometric shape Circular garden, pool, tile…

Properties of circle Circumference, radius, diameter, area

Relationships among properties Circumference = d = 2 r Area = r2

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 42

Virtual Data Storage (continued) Possible Data Items For ‘Circle’ Programs

Radius, Circumference, Diameter, Area and PI

To deal with actual problems what kind of data items should these be?

Numbers with fractional parts double (in C++)

PI never changes const (in C++)

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 43

Virtual Data Storage (continued) What if we want to deal with a group of things

that are all the same kind? For Example: a list numbers

Monthly sales figures ( Jan thru Dec ) Midterm exam grades ( 35 of them ) Electoral college votes by state ( 50 of them ) Website hits per month ( Jan thru Dec )

We can declare a group of like data items.

Meeting Expectations

C++ meets the four expectations for a high-level programming language

Expectations

Programmer need not manage details of the movement of data items within memory, nor pay any attention to where they are stored

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 49

Meeting Expectations (continued) Expectations (continued)

Programmer can take a macroscopic view of tasks, thinking at a higher level of problem-solving

Programs written in high-level languages will be portable rather than machine-specific

Programming statements in a high-level language

Will be closer to standard English

Will use standard mathematical notation

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 50

Managing Complexity: Divide and Conquer Divide and conquer

To solve a problem, divide it into smaller pieces

In a computer program

Divide the code into modules (subprograms), each doing a part of the overall task

Empower these modules to work together to solve the original problem

Using Functions

Function

A module of code in C++

Named using ordinary C++ identifiers

Subtask functions: optional

The main function: mandatory

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 53

Using Functions (continued)

To invoke a subtask function, the main function gives

Name of the function

Argument list for the function

Argument list: list of identifiers for variables that concern that function

Any function can have its own constant and variable declarations

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 54

Writing Functions

A function header consists of:

Return indicator: classifies a function as a void or a nonvoid function

Function identifier

Parameter list

By default, arguments in C++ are passed by value

Some C++ Terminology

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 57

Object-Oriented Programming Object-oriented programming (OOP)

A program is a simulation of some part of the world that is the domain of interest

Each object is an example drawn from a class of similar objects

Key elements of OOP Encapsulation

A class consists of its subtask modules and its properties

Both are “encapsulated” in the class

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 58

Object-Oriented Programming (continued) Key elements of OOP (continued)

Inheritance

Once a class A of objects is defined, a class B of objects can be defined as a “subclass” of A

Polymorphism

One name, the name of the service to be performed, has several meanings, depending on the class of the object providing the service

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 59

What Have We Gained?

Two major advantages of OOP

Software reuse

A more natural “world view”

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 60

Graphical Programming: Graphics Primitives Bitmapped display

The screen is made up of thousands of pixels, laid out in a two-dimensional grid

Frame buffer

Memory that stores the actual screen image

The terminal hardware displays on the screen the frame buffer value of every individual pixel

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 61

Figure 8.34

Pixel Numbering System in a Bitmapped Display

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 62

Graphics Primitives (continued) Graphics library

Software containing a collection of functions that control the setting and clearing of pixels

Virtually all modern programming languages come with a graphics library

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 68

Modern Environments

Integrated Development Environment (IDE) speeds development by providing

A text editor

A file manager

A compiler

A linker and loader

Tools for debugging

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 69

Summary

In a high-level language, the programmer:

Need not manage storage

Can think about the problem at a higher level

Can use more powerful and more natural-language-like program instructions

Can write a much more portable program

Invitation to Computer Science, C++ Version, Third Edition 70

Summary

C++ is an object-oriented, high-level programming language

if-else statement creates a conditional flow of control

while loop can be used for iteration
