Chapter 1Overview of Programming and Problem Solving Dale/Weems Slides based on work by Sylvia Sorkin, Community College of Baltimore County - Essex Campus Chapter 1 Topics Computer Programming Programming Life-Cycle Phases Creating an Algorithm Machine Language vs. High Level Languages Compilation and Execution Processes C++ History Computer Components Computing Profession Ethics Problem-Solving Techniques What is Computer Programming? It is the process of planning a sequence of steps(called instructions) for a computer to follow. Programming Life Cycle Phases Problem-Solving Implementation Maintenance Problem-Solving Phase Analyze the problem and specify what the solution must do Develop a general solution(algorithm) to solve the problem Verify that your solution really solves the problem Sample Problem Suppose a programmer needs to determine an employee’s weekly wages. How would the calculations be done by hand? One Employee’s Wages In one week an employee works 52 hours at the hourly pay rate of $24.75. Assume a 40.0 hour normal work week and an overtime pay rate factor of 1.5. What are the employee’s wages? Weekly Wages, in General If hours are more than 40.0 wages = (40.0 * payRate) + (hours - 40.0) * 1.5 *payRate otherwise wages = hours * payRate An Algorithm An algorithm is a step-by-step procedure for solving a problem with a finite amount of data in a finite amount of time Algorithm to Determine an Employee’s Weekly Wages 1. Get the employee’s hourly payRate 2. Get the hours worked this week 3. Calculate this week’s regular wages 4. Calculate this week’s overtime wages(if any) 5. Add the regular wages to overtime wages(if any) to determine total wages for the week What is a Programming Language? A programming language is a language with strict grammar rules, symbols, and special words used to construct a computer program Implementation Phase:Program
