Chapter 1 – Introduction to Computers and C++ Programming Chapter 1 – Introduction to Computers and C++ Programming 1.1 Introduction We will learn The C programming language Structured programming and proper programming techniques This book also covers C++ Chapter 15 – 23 introduce the C++ programming language Java Chapters 24 – 30 introduce the Java programming language This course is appropriate for Technically oriented people with little or no programming experience Experienced programmers who want a deep and rigorous treatment of the language 1.2 What is a Computer? Computer Device capable of performing computations and making logical decisions Computers process data under the control of sets of instructions called computer programs Hardware Various devices comprising a computer Keyboard, screen, mouse, disks, memory, CD-ROM, and processing units Software Programs that run on a computer 1.3 Computer Organization Six logical units in every computer: Input unit Obtains information from input devices (keyboard, mouse) Output unit Outputs information (to screen, to printer, to control other devices) Memory unit Rapid access, low capacity, stores input information Arithmetic and logic unit (ALU) Performs arithmetic calculations and logic decisions Central processing unit (CPU) Supervises and coordinates the other sections of the computer Secondary storage unit Cheap, long-term, high-capacity storage Stores inactive programs 1.4 Evolution of Operating Systems Batch processing Do only one job or task at a time Operating systems Manage transitions between jobs Increased throughput Amount of work computers process Multiprogramming Computer resources are shared by many jobs or tasks Timesharing Computer runs a small portion of one user’s job then moves on to service the next user 1.5 Personal Computing, Distributed Computing, and Client/Server Computing Personal computers Economical enough for individual Distributed computing Computing distributed ov
