 LANGUAGE- COMMUNICATION TOOL

 Language is a tool which helps us to express our thoughts.

 When you want to communicate with other person you need a common
language.
Good morning!!
HOW DO YOU COMMUNICATE WITH COMPUTERS

Hello
????
 PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE
❖ To communicate with computers we must know a language which it can understand.
❖ They are called are programming languages.
❖ Examples of programming languages are C, C++, JAVA, BASIC, etc.
❖ The set of instructions that tells a computer to perform some operations are called
program.
❖ A person who creates these program are called programmers.
 WHAT IS C++?
 It is a popular programming language
 It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in AT
& T Bell laboratory.
 It is an Object Oriented Programming (OOP)
language.
 Some of the popular real time applications
which use C++ are Amazon, Windows OS,
Youtube.
 WHAT IS OOP?
 The main objective of OOP is to break the problem down into number of
smaller parts that are simpler and easier to understand.
 There are few principles and concepts that form the foundation of OOP. They
are
 Object
 Class
 Data Abstraction
 Polymorphism
 COMPILER

 What is a compiler?
 Compiler is a translator which converts the high level language (source code)
into binary language (object code).
 What is binary language?
 Binary consists of only 0s and 1s which a computer can understand.
 What is high level language?
 High level language is any programming language used to write programs.
Example are C, C++, JAVA, etc.

 INTRODUCTION TO DEV C++
 DEV C++ is a compiler used in many places to write and execute C++
programs.
 It can be downloaded from the following link
 https://sourceforge.net/projects/orwelldevcpp/
 Click on download button.
 INTRODUCTION TO EDITOR WINDOW

 After installing DEV C++, open the application it will start with the following screen.
 INTRODUCTION TO EDITOR WINDOW

 Now choose File → New→ Source File.

 Blank window will appear where we can type the C++ programs.
 This screen is called editor window.
 STRUCTURE OF C++ PROGRAM

 Now let us discuss the structure of a C++ program.

 Comments
Text within /*-------*/ and after // are treated as comments and are ignored by
the compiler. This is used to explain the purpose of the program. Single line
comment begins with // and double line comments begin and end with /*------*/
 #include
These are known as pre-processor directives. It means that we are including a
header file, which will enable us to perform input/output operations.
 STRUCTURE OF C++ PROGRAMS

 Main()
It is used to indicate that the execution of the program will begin from this point
followed by the program statements enclosed within braces.
 Program body
It contains the program statements which cause the action to be taken. The curly
braces indicates the scope of the program.
 SAMPLE PROGRAM

#include

main()

Comments
Program
body
 COUT STATEMENT

 One of the most widely used statement in C++ language is the cout statement.
 This statement is used to display any message on the output screen.
 cout stands for common output.
 For example if I want to print the text COMPUTER SCIENCE, the following
statement has to be included in the program body
 cout<<“ COMPUTER SCIENCE”;
 << - this is called as insertion operator.
 Any text written within double quotes in a cout statement is displayed as such.
 Always c++ statements end with semicolon.
 SAVING THE PROGRAM

 A program can be typed in the editor window to produce some result.

 After typing the program, it has to be saved.
 Select File→Save or press Ctrl+ S. In the Save As dialog box give a
name to the file.
 Now the file is saved.
 HOW TO MAKE THE C++ PROGRAM TO WORK?
 This is the important step to see the output of the C++
program.
 Here we have two steps to do
 Compiling - This step is to convert the C++ program into machine
language (0s and 1s)
 Execution/Running – In this step the computer obeys the instruction
given in the program.
 HOW TO COMPILE AND RUN A PROGRAM?

 After saving the file, select Execute→ Compile & Run from the menu
bar.
 Now the complier checks the program.
 If there is no error in the program output will be displayed as shown
below
 EXERCISE

 Write a program to display your name.

 Write a program to display the following text
 Taj Mahal is located in Agra
