Programming Languages
1. Machine languages (machine dependent)
Native tongue of a particular kind of computer. Each
instruction is a binary string. The code is used to indicate
the operations to be performed and the memory cells to be
addressed. This form is easiest form of computers to
understand, but is most difficult for a person to understand.
Strings of numbers giving machine specific instructions
Example: +1300042774
+1400593419
+1200274027
Programming Languages (cont.)
2. Assembly languages (machine dependent)
English-like abbreviations representing elementary computer
operations (translated via assemblers)
Again specific to only one type of computer. Uses descriptive
names for operations and data, e.g. , “LOAD value”, “ADD
delta”, “STORE value”. Assemblers will translate these to
machine
languages.
Intermediate
level.
Somewhat
descriptive, but basically following the machine instructions.
Example:
LOAD
ADD
STORE
BASEPAY
OVERPAY
GROSSPAY
Programming Languages (cont.)
3. High-level languages (machine independent)
Codes similar to everyday English
High-level languages: Write program instructions called statement
that resemble a limited version of English. e.g., the statement
“value = value + delta”. Portable, meaning it can be used on
different types of computers without modifications. Compilers
translate them to machine languages. Examples are FORTRAN,
PASCAL, COBOL, C, C++, BASIC etc.
Use mathematical notations (translated via compilers)
Example:
grossPay = basePay + overTimePay
a
Before b
Example:
Statement:
a= a + b
a
After
b

Structured programming
Disciplined approach to writing programs
Clear, easy to test and debug and easy to modify
Multitasking
Specifying that many
activities run in parallel (still timesliced)

Logic Programming
Real-time distributed systems

GUI, OOP
Objects “talk” via message
Supports object & OOP
C (++ is the increment operator)
SupportsWeb programming Originally named “Oak”
Semantic Gap
A “semantic gap” exists between the amount of
information conveyed in assembly language v high level
languages. Consider the following C single statement:
x = x + 3;
This single statement may require many assembly
language statements (operations):
Load memory location 24 into accumulator
Add a constant 3 to the accumulator
Store accumulator in memory location 24
The number of executable statement expands greatly
during the translation process from a high level
language into assembly language.
C Programming Language
C
High-level general-purpose language developed in 1972 at AT&T Bell
Lab. By Dennis Ritchie from two previous programming BCPL and B
Originally developed to write the UNIX operating system
Hardware independent (portable)
By late 1970's C had evolved to "Traditional C"
Today, virtually all new operating systems are written in C or C++.
The current standard in C is ANSI C.
C++ is a more advanced version of C, incorporating among other
things, the object-oriented constructs
Standardization
Many slight variations of C existed, and were incompatible
Committee formed to create a "unambiguous, machine-independent" definition
Standard created in 1989, updated in 1999
C has become a popular language industry due its power and flexibility
The C Standard Library
C programs consist of pieces/modules called
functions
A programmer can create his own functions
Advantage: the programmer knows exactly how it works
Disadvantage: time consuming
Programmers will often use the C library
functions
Use these as building blocks
Avoid re-inventing the wheel
If a pre-made function exists, generally best to use it
rather than write your own
Library functions carefully written, efficient, and portable
The C Standard Library (cont.)
The Key Software Trend: Objects in C++ and
JAVA
Reusable software components that model items in the
real world
Meaningful software units: ex: Date objects, time objects, audio
objects, video objects, file objects, record objects…any noun can
be represented as an object
More understandable, better organized, and easier to
maintain than procedural programming
Favor modularity
The C Standard Library
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
int i;
for (i = 0; i ++; i < 10)
{
printf ("Hello World!\n");
}
}
A Typical C Program Development Environment
• Phases of C Programs:
Editor
Disk
Preprocessor
Disk
Compiler
Disk
Linker
Disk
1. Program is created in the
editor and stored on disk
2. Preprocessor program
processes the code
3. Compiler creates object
code and stores it on disk.
4. Linker links the object
code with the libraries
1. Edit
2. Preprocess
3. Compile
4. Link
Primary Memory
5. Load
Loader
5. Loader puts program
in memory.
Disk
Primary Memory
CPU
6. CPU takes each instruction
and executes it, possibly
storing new data values as
the program executes
6. Execute
A Typical C Program Development Environment (cont.)
• Procedure to Prepare a C Program for Execution
Enter the program code and
save as a source (*.c) file using
Word Processor (editor)

Evolution of Operating Systems
Batch processing: do only one job or task at a time
Operating systems: manage transitions between jobs and
Increase throughput (amount of work computers process)
Multiprogramming: Computer resources are shared by many
jobs or tasks
Timesharing: Technique used to implement multiprogramming
where the computer runs a small portion of one user’s job
then moves on to service the next user
