CPU
•
•
•
•
Brain of the Computer
Carries out instructions from programs
Controls other parts of the computer
Does arithmetic operations and compares
values

Other Components
• Primary memory
– Stores data and programs temporarily
– volatile
– Another name is RAM
• Secondary memory
– Long term storage
– non-volatile
– Hard disks and DVDs

Other Components
• Input
– Get data from outside world
– Keyboard, mouse, camera
• Output
– Send data to outside world
– Monitor, speaker, printer

Binary Data

Data in the computer is stored as bits, or
binary data.


ON/OFF, electrical charge or no charge.
Eight bits make a byte

Enough to store a character, 'A', '#', '1'
Data in Memory
• Figure 1-3 Bytes in memory
• Address and contents

Computing System Software
• Languages
 Machine language used in 1940s
 High-level languages developed, 1950s
• Written program called source code
• Translated to machine language
• Done by compiler or interpreter programs
• Other Software
 Operating system (a program)
 Application programs

Java Programming Language
•
•
•
•
•
Developed by Sun Microsystems, 1995
Object oriented
Platform independent
Can run within Internet browser
Can execute either locally (application)
or remotely (applet)

Graphics
• Both applications and applets can produce
graphics
• Application with graphical components
called GUI (Graphical User Interface)
• Classes support graphics programming
 Abstract Window Toolkit
 Swing

Tools and Resources
• Java Development Kit (JDK)
• Text editor, e.g. notepad
• Integrated Development (IDE)
 eclipse is an IDE
 Combines editor, compiler, Java Virtual
Machine
 Also has other features, like a debugger.

Questions
• What two major components of a
computer?
• What does the CPU do?
• How does Java differ from other high-level
languages?
