    Basics of Computer Programming


    A computer system is one that is able to take a set of inputs,
    process them and create a set of useful outputs.

    One or more inputs are used to provide data, this data is then
    processed in some way and the outcome of processing is sent to an
    output or it may be stored until some event happens and brings it
    to the output.
    For processing to take place, there needs to be a set of instructions
    of what needs to be done. This set of instructions is known as a
    computer program.

    Evolution of Programming Languages

    Machine Language
    Lowest-level programming language
    0s and 1s
    Easily understood by computers but is almost impossible for
    humans to use
    Assembly Language
    English-like abbreviations such as MOV, ADD etc.
    Translated into a machine language by a program called an
    assembler
    Many instructions for even a simple task
    High level Language
    Easier to understand for humans
    A compiler is required to convert it into machine language
    Single statement is enough to carry out many tasks
    Lab # 2: Introduction to Programming

    Why C++?

    Why C++?
    Conciseness
    Maintainabilty
    Portability
    Standardization
    ANSI/ISO standardization
    Revisions – C++ 98, C++ 2003, C++ 2011, C++ 2014
