CPU Follows a Sequence of Instructions • CPU is the Central Processing Unit: one “core” • Programs are turned into instructions understood by the CPU en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:E6750bs8.jpg
Typing Code That Makes Sense Closer to Human Language Thankfully, Grace Hopper invented the compiler, a computer program that lets programmers work with more human-readable language. A compilertranslates a more human-friendly code into a sequence of assembly language code before the code runs. Grace Hopper called her new language COBOL. She received a B.S. in mathematics from Vassar College and a Master’s and Ph.D. from Harvard. She programmed the Mark I, II, and III computers and was a Rear Admiral in the U.S. Navy.
