Memory: What is memory?

It is part of a computer’s electronic circuitry holding the binary data which is processed by the computer’s program.

15


CPU: What does CPU stand for?

Central Processing Unit (CPU) What is

Control Unit, ALU, Program Counter, Instruction Counter?

What is program? How a program is executed?Machine Cycle

16


Central Processing Unit (CPU)

Arithmetic/Logic Unit (ALU)

Control unit

CPU

Control and coordinate the computer’s operations.

performs all arithmetic computations and logic operations.

CPU reads program instructions from main memory. CPU executes one instruction at a time until completion.

17


Central Processing Unit (CPU) (contd.)

Program Counter (PC) Instruction Counter (IC) contains the

memory address of the instruction that is currently being executed.

contains the instruction currently being processed.

18


Central Processing Unit (CPU) (contd.) What is program?

Program is a set of instructions How a program is executed?

Program is loaded into memory.In each Machine Cycle:

o Fetch, Decode, Execute

Machine Cycle is repeated until completion.

19


Central Processing Unit (CPU) (contd.) In each Machine Cycle:

Fetch: o The control unit loads the instruction

pointed to by PC to IC. o PC is updated to the address of the next

instruction.Decode: control unit decodes the fetched

instruction and determines the required action to take.

Execute: control unit activates the appropriate circuitry.

20


Central Processing Unit (CPU) (contd.) Hardware characteristics:

The speed of a computer can be quoted as:

o Clock speed, e.g. 100MHz means 100 million cycles per second.

o MIPS, a million instructions per second.

21


Secondary Storage: Mass storage devices

Sequential storage: tape. Random storage: floppy disk, zip disk,

CD-ROM, etc. Static storage.

Solving problems on computers. System Design Algorithm Development and Representation Programming

26

Solving problems on computers.

System Design Top-down

break the problem into smaller and smaller sub-problems until they can be solved trivially.

Bottom-upstart by designing the low-level details,

and then decide how these will be put together to create the entire system

27


Algorithm Development and Representation What is algorithm?

a specification of the series of steps which must be followed in order to solve a problem or accomplish a task.

Algorithm Representation:Pseudo CodeDecision TreesFlow Charts

28


Programming What is programming?

Programming is the process of translating a problem’s solution into instructions that a computer can process.

29


Programming Paradigms Procedural Programming is based upon the

concept of the modularity.A main procedural program is composed

of one or more modules. Each module is composed of one or more subprograms.

Declarative programming describes to the computer a set of

conditions and lets the computer figure out how to

satisfy them.

30


Programming Paradigms Object oriented programming

A computer program is composed of a collection of individual units, called objects.

Operations are provided for each class of objects.

Operations change the state of an object.To make the overall computation happen,

the objects interact through their own operations and their own data.

31

Introduction to Computer SciencePart III: Computer Language

Why Computer needs language? Computer requires an unambiguousunambiguous

language Computer Language are designed to be

unambiguousunambiguous.Precedence and associativity determine

precisely how expressions are evaluated.

32


C language C is a general purpose programming

language. C is a middle level language.

It combines the elements of high-level language with the functionality of low-level language.

C is a structured language.It allows programmer to divide program

into modules.

33


There is only one programming language that a computer can actually understand and execute: its own native binary machine code.

Languages are classified as low level if they are close to machine code and high level if each language statement corresponds to many machine code instructions.

1. A brief history of C 1960s, CPL (Combined Programming Language)

capable of both high level machine independent programming and would still allow the programmer to control the behavior of individual bits of data.

too large for use in many applications. 1967, BCPL (Basic CPL): a scaled down version of

CPL. In 1970, B: a scaled down version of BCPL

written specifically for use in systems programming.

In 1972, C Dennis Ritchie returned some of features of BCPL

to the B language in the process of developing C.

2. Features of C Small

The core language of C is small; Non-essential functionality, such as math functions

or file handling, is provided by a standardized set of library routines.

Portable: easily moved from machine to machine.

Powerful: it is able to access low level commands

Useful in writing system software Procedural Programming paradigm

Allows programmer to divide program into modules.

6. Operator and Punctuator Precedence and Associativity

determine precisely how expressions are evaluated.

Precedence of operators indicates when they will be evaluatedwhen they will be evaluated.

Associativity o “left to right”: Operations are performed from

left to right Examples: +,-,/,%

o “right to left”: Operations are performed from right to left Examples: ++(prefix), --(prefix)

74

Chapter 2

6. Operator and Punctuator Division and Modulus

Division a/b: an integer expression divided by another integer expression yields an integer value.o Any fractional part is discarded.

Modulus a%b: the remainder after a is divided by b.

If a or b is negative, the results of division and modulus are system-dependent

In a/b and a%b, the value of b cannot be zero.

Each of the expressions ++i and i++ has a value.o ++i

the stored value of i is incremented first the expression takes as its value the new

stored value of io i++

the expression takes as its value the current stored value of i

the stored value of i is incremented

o The names and characteristics of functions are included into computer files called header file.

Library file: o The actual implementation of functions are

separated into a library file.

83

Chapter 2

7. C System (cont’d) How to use a function in the standard library?

The programmer needs to provide the function prototype.o Including appropriate header files.
