first programming language for many programmers

BASIC

A programming language and environment developed by Microsoft.

Visual Basic

much closer to assembly language than are most other high-level languages.

who developed C? where did he developed it? and when?

Dennis Ritchie Bell Labs in the mid 1970s

A high-level programming language and one of the most popular programming language for graphical applications, such as those that run in Windows and Macintosh environments.

C++

who developed c++ and where did he developed it?

Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs.

named after Blaise Pascal, a seventeenth-century French mathematician who constructed one of the first mechanical adding machines. It is a popular teaching language.

Pascal

who developed Pascal? when did he developed it?

Niklaus Wirth in the late 1960s

It is a popular teaching language.

Pascal

A high-level programming language developed by Sun Microsystems.

Java

originally called OAK

Java

a high-level, interpreted, interactive and object-oriented scripting language.

Python

designed to be highly readable.

Python

processed at runtime by the interpreter.

Python is Interpreted

You can actually sit at a Python prompt and interact with the interpreter directly to write your programs.

Python is Interactive −

supports Object-Oriented style or technique of programming that encapsulates code within objects.

Python is Object-Oriented

a great language for the beginner-level programmers and supports the development of a wide range of applications from simple text processing to WWW browsers to games.

Python is a Beginner's Language

who developed python?

Guido van rossum

Python has support for an interactive mode

Interactive Mode

You can add low-level modules to the Python interpreter.

Extendable

fairly easy-to-maintain

Easy-to-maintain

more clearly defined and visible to the eyes.

Easy-to-read

has few keywords, simple structure, and a clearly defined syntax

Easy-to-learn

provides interfaces to all major commercial databases.

Databases

supports GUI applications that can be created and ported to many system calls, libraries and windows systems, such as Windows MFC, Macintosh, and the X Window system of Unix.

GUI Programming

provides a better structure and support for large programs than shell scripting.

Scalable

describes a process for planning, creating, testing, and deploying an information system.

Systems Development Life Cycle

Computer professionals that are in charge of creating applications often have the job title of?

System Analyst

describes fundamental properties of the program’s source code and executable code, including reliability, robustness, usability, portability, maintainability, efficiency, and readability.

Program quality

how often the results of a program are correct

Reliability

how well a program anticipates problems due to errors (not bugs).

Robustness

the ergonomics of a program

Usability

Portability

can be modified by its present or future developers in order to make improvements or customizations, fix bugs and security holes, or adapt it to new environments.

Maintainability

measure of system resources a program consumes

Efficiency/performance

ease with which a human reader can comprehend the purpose, control flow, and operation of source code.

Readability

one method of designing or planning a program.

Pseudocode

display a message asking the user to enter the first age get the first age from the keyboard display a message asking the user to enter the second age get the second age from the keyboard.

Input

calculate the answer by adding the two ages together and dividing by two.

Process

display the answer on the screen pause so the user can see the answer.

Output

a software application that provides comprehensive facilities to computer programmers for software development.

integrated development environment (IDE)

used to verify that the inputs, processing, and outputs are working correctly.

Code checking

The measure of system resources a program consumes.

Efficiency

The phase of a Systems Development Life Cycle where the programmers would be assigned to write specific programs. life cycle Systems Development Life Cycle: Planning – Analysis – Design – Implementation – Maintenance

Implementation

IPO

Inputs – Processing – Outputs

The ease with which a program can be modified by its present or future developers.

Maintainability

Using test data to check the design model (usually done in pseudocode)

Model checking

The range of computer hardware and operating system platforms on which the source code of a program can be compiled/interpreted and run.

The ease with which a person can use the program.

Usability

What are the 7 properties in Program Quality

RELIABILITY, ROBUSTNESS, USABILITY, PORTABILITY, MAINTAINABILITY, EFFICIENCY AND READABILITY

means false; thus, pseudocode means false code.

PSEUDO

is fake (not the real thing). It looks like (imitates) real code but it is NOT real code. It uses English statements to describe what a program is to accomplish.
