Announcements and Demos (0:00-10:00) • This is CS50. • Check out what is possible in the programming language called Scratch that we will begin the course with! Scratch will enable you to wrap your mind around the fundamental constructs of programming while making a cool game or animation. • Be sure to check out the second annual CS50 Puzzle Day this Saturday! Thanks to Facebook for sponsoring! • CS50 is all about getting you through CS50. We want you to make it to the final days and gain that

A high-level programming language developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs in the mid 1970s. Although originally designed as a systems programming language‚ C has proved to be a powerful and flexible language that can be used for a variety of applications‚ from business programs to engineering. C is particularly a popular language for personal computer programmers because it is relatively small - it requires less memory than other languages. The first major program written in C was the UNIX operating

COMPUTER PROGRAMMING Programming languages for computers are developed with the primary objective of facilitating a large number of persons to use computers without the need to know in detail the internal structure of a computer. Languages are matched to the type of applications which are to be programmed using the language. The ideal language would be one which expresses precisely the specification of a problem to be solved‚ and converts it into a series of instructions for a computer. It is not

Genealogy of Programming Languages Pre-computer era Analytical engine The analytical engine‚ an important step in the history of computers‚ was the design of a mechanical general- purpose computer by the British mathematician Charles Babbage. It was first described in 1837. Because of financial‚ political‚ and legal issues‚ the engine was never built. In its logical design the machine was essentially modern‚ anticipating the first completed general-purpose computers by about 100 years. The input

History of Programming Languages To date‚ there have been two conferences focusing on programming languages. The Special Interest Group on Programming Languages (SIGPLAN) of the Association for Computing Machinery sponsored two "History of Programming Languages (HOPL)" conferences. The first of these took place in Los Angeles in 1978‚ and focused on thirteen early languages: ALGOL‚ APL‚ APT‚ BASIC‚ COBOL‚ FORTRAN‚ GPSS‚ JOSS‚ JOVIAL‚ LISP‚ PL/I‚ SIMULA‚ and SNOBOL. The prospectus for the first

Summary of PL/1 (Programming Languages 1) History (Programming Language 1) A high-level IBM programming language introduced in 1964 with the System/360 series‚ developed by George Radin of IBM in 1964. Originally named (NPL) and Fortran VI. It was designed to combine features of and eventually supplant COBOL and FORTRAN‚ which never happened. A PL/I program is made up of procedures (modules) that can be compiled independently. There is always a main procedure and zero or more additional ones.

world of Java programming by taking you through the three basic steps required to get a simple program running. The Java system is a collection of applications not unlike any of the other applications that you are accustomed to using (such as your word processor‚ e-mail program‚ or internet browser). As with any application‚ you need to be sure that Java is properly installed on your computer. You also need an editor and a terminal application. Here are system specific instructions for three popular home

CONCEPTS OF PROGRAMING LANGUAGES (COMPUTER SCIENCE 7) PRELIMINARIES Reasons for Studying Concepts of Programming Languages 1. Increased capacity to express ideas – People with limited grasp of natural language are limited in the complexity of their thoughts‚ it is difficult for people to conceptualize structure that they cannot describe‚ verbally or in writing. Programmers in the process of developing software encounter the same constraint. Programmers can increase the range of their software-development

Evolution of Programming Languages Generations Most books and articles on history of programming languages tend to discuss languages in term of generations.This is useful arrangement for classifying languages by age.I agree that whatever a few of we ‘more mature’ software engineers get together‚ we cannot ever seem to agree on wht constitutes the generation of computer languages.We know that Formula Translation (FORTRAN) was probably a first-generation languges.Does that make FORTRAN 77 and WatFor
