  1. Programming Introduction to Programming

  2. Objectives • To learn fundamental problem solving techniques • To learn how to design a program • To learn to use the C++ programming language

  3. Work Worker Product Instructions Work Computer Product Program What is C++? • C++ is a programming language. • A computer program performs a specific task, and may interact with the user and the computer hardware. • Human work model: • Computer work model:

  4. What is C++? • The most popular programming languages: • Basic (Beginner All-purpose Symbolic Instructional Code) • C++ (an object-oriented language, based on C) • Cobol (Common Business Oriented Language) • Fortran (FORmula TRANslation) • Java • Pascal (named for Blaise Pascal) • Visual Basic (Basic-like visual language developed by Microsoft) • C (developed by the designer of the B language) • The most common versions of C++: • Microsoft VC++2008 • Eclipse • g++ (for Unix machines)

  5. Why C++? • Bad News: • C++ is not easy to learn • Good News: • Lots of good-paying jobs for programmers because C++ is not easy to learn! • Java uses C++ syntax, it is easy to learn Java if you know C++. • Though C++ is not the easiest language (Basic and Pascal are easier), it is not the hardest either (Ada, Prolog and Assembly languages are really difficult!)

  6. Who Uses C++? • Computer makers such as Sun, SGI, IBM, and HP • Airport • Computer chip manufacturers like Motorola & Intel • Software companies • Banks • Hong Kong Government • Hospital Authority • Telecommunications • Universities

  7. Most Important Feature of C++ • Most important feature of C++: its strong and efficient support of both Structured Programming and Object-Oriented Programming. • C++ runs on: • PC • Macintosh • Unix workstations (also, Unix versions of C++ are free!) • supercomputers

  8. What Can We Do By the End of the Course? • Program the computer in applications such as the following: • Program a simple calculator • Program simple computer games • Program a simple text editor • Program a small inventory system for a small company • You will be ready to take on part-time programming jobs by the end of the semester!
