Programming Language Programming Language

programming language is a tool used by a programmer to give the computer very specific instructions in order to serve some purpose for the user.

A program is like a recipe.

• mix eggs, butter, sugar in a bowl

• add flour, baking soda, and flavorings

• mix until creamy

• add chocolate chips

• bake in the oven.

Why C++?Why C++?

C++ allows expression of abstract ideas

C++ is a third generation language that allows a programmer to express their ideas at a high level as compared to assembly languages.

C++ still allows a programmer to keep low-level control

it has some of the "feel" of an assembly language.

Why C++?Why C++?

C++ has national standards (ANSI)

Code written in C++ that conforms to the national standards can be easily integrated with preexisting code.

C++ is reusable and object-oriented

C++ is widely used and taught

Structure of a program

Line separation

Multiple instructions

Type of Structuring

Comments

C++’ Names The name of a variable: Starts with an underscore “_” or a letter, lowercase or uppercase, such as a letter from a to z or from A to Z.

Examples are Name, gender, _Students, pRice
