  1. What is programming? • Steps to solve a problem. • Repeatable by executing or “doing” the steps again. UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  2. Write a program • Problem solve phase • Implement phase (Maintenance phase) Program VCR to tape American Idol UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  3. Problem Solving • Solve the problem before writing any program • Pseudo Code If score is positive Add score to Total Else Display an error message UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  4. Algorithm • Instructions on how to do something • Details • If you leave out steps… Can you write an algorithm to set an alarm clock? UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  5. What is a programming language? • Set of instructions, rules, and symbols known by a computer that can be interpreted by the computer to solve a problem. UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  6. High Level Programming Languages C++ Java BASIC COBOL English Like Easy to Read and Write (Compared with low level) C++ Code Example Total = Total + Score; UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  7. Low Level Programming Languages Total = Total + Score; Machine Code 10010110 00000000 10100101 Assembly Code Add AX, Score UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  8. Programming Steps • Create source code file: Lab0.cpp • Compile to machine code: Lab0.obj • Link to executable program: Lab0.exe • Run Lab0.exe UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  9. What is a computer? Network CPU Output Input MEMORY Storage UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  10. Hardware • CPU • Memory • Keyboard • Monitor • Disk • … UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  11. Problem-SolvingTechniques • ASK for HELP!!!! • Look for things that are familiar • Given salary, compute a 10% salary increase. • Given the price of a product, compute a 10% price increase • Solve by analogy • I know how to rollerblade. • This is similar to ice skating. • Means/Ends Analysis • If I’m on one side of the river, how can I get to the other side? UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  12. Problem-Solving Techniques • Divide and conquer • Build a house with electrician, carpenter, plumber etc. • Building-block approach • Components of a sound system • Merging solutions • What things can be done at the same time? UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes

  13. Mental Blocks • Fear of starting • Just do it • Algorithmic problem solving • Not always easy • May fail (it will make you stronger) UWP - Landgraf Some slides are from Dr. Qi Yang's notes
