  1. Software, Programmings

  2. Types of Software Figure 9.1 Shakeel Ahmad

  3. Shakeel Ahmad

  4. Programming Viewed As a Business Process Shakeel Ahmad

  5. Programming As a Translation Process Figure 9.2 Shakeel Ahmad

  6. Organizing Ideas • Successive decomposition (also known as stepwise refinement) – programs are divided into small subprograms called modules • Self-contained subsystems that produce predictable outputs from known inputs • Structured programming – a disciplined style of programming based on successive decomposition Shakeel Ahmad

  7. Figure 9.3 Shakeel Ahmad

  8. Testing Programs • The process of determining whether a program or system operates in the desired manner • Bug – a flaw in the program • Syntax errors – incorrect use of the programming language • Logic errors – bugs that cause a syntactically correct program to perform incorrect processing Shakeel Ahmad

  9. The Changing Nature of Programming • Greater nonprocedurality • Procedural program – a program that specifies how something should be done • Nonprocedural program – a program that specifies what should be accomplished • Nonprocedural programs are easier to develop Shakeel Ahmad

  10. Greater modularity and reusability • Reusability – using preexisting modules when developing new programs • Greater machine and data independence • Machine independence – programs can be executed under different operating system and on machines from different vendors • Data independence – possible to change the way the data are physically stored without changing the program Shakeel Ahmad

  11. The Trend Toward Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) • Objects vs. classes • Objects are things about which data exist • The object is made up of both data and actions that can be performed with the data • A class is a general description of a related set of objects • Classes are organized in hierarchies • A classinheritsboth the data and the actions of the parent class Shakeel Ahmad

  12. All actions are controlled by messagespassed between objects • Object orientation is becoming increasingly popular • Most popular object-oriented programming languages: C++ and Java Shakeel Ahmad

  13. Four Generations of Programming Languages Shakeel Ahmad

  14. Machine Languages • The internal programming language for a particular chip • The only language the processor can understand • Very difficult for humans to use Shakeel Ahmad

  15. Assembly Languages • Are automatically translated into machine language by assembler programs • Makes programs easier to write because it avoids the problem of physical references • Still very laborious and error-prone Shakeel Ahmad

  16. High Level Languages • Also known as third generation languages (3GLs) • The source code is translated into the object code (machine language) by a COMPILER • The translation can also be accomplished by an INTERPRETER, which translates and executes each line of code (no object code is created) Shakeel Ahmad

  17. Fourth Generation Languages (4GLs) • A loosely defined group of programming languages that permit nonprogrammers to do programming work • Main categories: • Query languages • Report generators Shakeel Ahmad

  18. Other Major Developments in Programming • Special purpose languages • Spreadsheets • Computer aided software engineering systems (CASE) Shakeel Ahmad

  19. Operating Systems Shakeel Ahmad

  20. Complex programs that control the operation of computers and networks • Control the execution of other programs • Control communication with peripherals • Control the use of computer resources, such as disk space Shakeel Ahmad

  21. Operating Systems for Personal Computers • Functions: • Controlling the user interface • Controlling tasks in progress • Controlling access to data • Allocating resources Shakeel Ahmad

  22. Operating Systems for Multiuser Computer Systems • Monitor the current status and decide when to start jobs • Network operating system – establishes the links, monitors the operation, and controls recovery processes Shakeel Ahmad
