    This document provides an introduction to computer programming. It discusses different types of software, including system software like operating systems and application software that can solve problems or perform tasks. It also covers generations of programming languages from machine language to high-level languages. Key programming concepts introduced include structured programming using sequences, selection, and repetition, as well as object-oriented programming which packages data and procedures into reusable objects. The document concludes by noting programs must be translated to machine language understood by computers, using tools like assemblers, compilers or interpreters.

    Software

    Can be categorized as system software or applications software.

    1. System Software A subset of system software is an operating system such as MS-DOS, Window and UNIX.

    2. Application Software

    Software that is applied and can be used a. To solve a particular problem or b. Perform a particular task.

    Generation Of

    Programming Languages

    Programming Languages A set of rules that telling a computer what to do. There are over 200 programming languages in the world. Helps we understanding computer. We need programming languages

    as an alternative to a manual system disadvantages of manual system: slow repetitive incorrect data/information

    Chap 1 :Introduction To Programming Langua

    Programming Approach 2 types : Structured and object - oriented. 1. Structured Programming

    A methodology in which all program logic is constructed from a combination of three control structures : sequence, selection and repetition (loop) Program logic is description of the step-by step procedures for a module.

    Chap 1 :Introduction To Programming Langua

    2. Object-oriented programming

    Packaged the data and procedure into a single unit called an object which can be reused and modified.
    data - called attributes or variables procedure - the instructions that tell the data what to do

    - called operations or method.

    Object have classes and subclasses. Each class contains the characteristics that are unique to objects of that class.

    Language Translator
    Program need to translate because computer only understand machine language. Three kind of translator : - Assembler -Used in assembly language for translate the language to machine language - Compiler - Translates one program code statement at a time. - Translator - Converts the entire source program into machine language at one time
