...CMIS 102 Hands-On Lab Week 1: Overview: This Hands-on lab allows you to experiment with simple sequential print statements using an online C compiler such as ideone.com or codetwist.com Instructions: a. Open up any online C compiler (e.g ideone.com, codetwist.com). b. Be sure the C Language is selected. c. Enter the code below into the editor. (Note: LEO doesn’t let you just copy and paste from this document so you can either download the document and then copy and paste or just go to the Code for HelloWorld link for this week and copy and paste from there.) d. Click the submit, or run button. e. Try the additional learning exercises on the next page. Here is what Hello, World! Looks like using ideone.com after it has successfully run Hello, World C code #include <stdio.h> int main(void) { printf("Hello, World!"); return 0; } Learning Exercises for you to try: 1. Remove the semi-colon (;) at the end of this statement: printf("Hello, World!"); main.c: In function ‘main’: main.c:5:4: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘return’ return 0; ^ 2. What happens if you add another printf statement such as: printf("Goodbye"); after the printf("Hello, World!"); line? Hello, World!Goodbye The Lack of a \n which means new line made the two phrases sit side by side with no spaces in-between. 3. Experiment...

...C Functions Intended Learning Outcomes • Distinguish the basic concepts of functions • Differentiate built-in function to user-defined function • Differentiate the functions that do not return a value and functions that return a value. • Apply or create function/s to solve problems Function • known with various names like a method or a sub-routine or a procedure, etc. • is a group of statements that together perform a task. Every C program has at least one function, which is main(), and all the most trivial programs can define additional functions. Two types of function • Built-in function – Functions inside the libraries – Stdio.h -> printf() – Math.h -> sqrt() • User-defined function – Functions that are declared and defined by programmers. Functions • You can divide up your code into separate functions. How you divide up your code among different functions is up to you, but logically the division usually is so each function performs a specific task. Advantages of user defined functions 1. Helps to decompose the large program into small segments which makes programmer easy to understand, maintain and debug. 2. If repeated code occurs in a program. Function can be used to include those codes and execute when needed by calling that function. 3. Programmer working on large project can divide the workload by making different functions Advantage Structured Approach Method-oriented Approach Dividing...

...are so many programming languages, it seems nigh impossible to list all of them. But, of course, there's always the most important or the most popular, and a lot of times the most important/most popular are the same languages, just maybe in a different order. The 1970's seen a quick advancement in computers and their languages due the the creation of the microprocessors. This era's programming history is marked by C, Pascal, Smalltalk, Scheme and Prolog The C programming language is the basis for many others. It's one of the singly most important building blocks of many of the languages used today. C was created in 1971, though it's roots go back to 1954's Fortran. However, it's direct predeccessor was B in 1969. C was created as a compiler to more easily install OS's on computers. It made it possible to the few system-dependent requirements and then use a C compiler to install the new OS. Bell Lab's Ken Thompson was behind the original B, then him and Dennis Ritchie, also of Bell Labs, improved upon it for the NB language. The evolution of NB led naturally to C. Pascal is another language that is the basis of many others, and many of the languages used commonly now have it somewhere in their developmental line. Pascal was named for Frenchman Blaise Pascal, a pioneer mathematician, that had created the first arithmetic machine. That machine could, arguably, be considered the first computer. Niklaus Wirth had written the first version of the Pascal language in 1970 with the...

...Chapter 5: Retrieving Data for Computation, Analysis, and Reference TRUE/FALSE 1. A data list that categorizes values you want to retrieve is called a linkup table. ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 291 2. A vertical lookup table is a lookup table in which the data to be searched is organized in columns. ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 294 3. When you write a VLOOKUP formula, you indicate the value you want to look up in a table. ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 294 4. If a lookup_value is smaller than the smallest value in the first column of table_array, VLOOKUP opens up the Lookup Wizard. ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 297 5. When using a VLOOKUP function it’s not always obvious when a returned value is incorrect. ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 298 6. When you use a lookup type of TRUE, the VLOOKUP function looks only for an exact match of the lookup value. ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 299 7. Headings at the top of each column should be included as part of the lookup_range in the VLOOKUP formula. ANS: F PTS: 1 REF: 301 8. When creating a vertical lookup table with the TRUE type, be certain to start with the lowest possible value, such as 0, so that the table covers all the possible data. ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 301 9. The syntax of the HLOOKUP function is as follows: HLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,row_index_num,range_lookup) ANS: T PTS: 1 REF: 303 10.

...Five popular programming languages in the following decades: 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. 1970s * 1970 - Pascal: Developed by Niklaus Wirth. Efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. * 1972 - C: Developed by Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson at Bell Labs. It was designed to be compiled using a relatively straightforward compiler, to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support. * 1972 - Smalltalk: Developed by Learning Research Group (LRG) of Xerox PARC by Alan Kay, Dan Ingalls, Adele Goldberg, Ted Kaehler, Scott Wallace, and others. It was designed and created in part for educational use, more so for constructionist learning * 1972 - Prolog: Developed by Colmerauer, Roussel, and Kowalski.Was the first logic programming language. * 1973 - ML: Developed by Robin Milner. Built a polymorphic type system on top of Lisp, pioneering statically typed functional programming languages. 1980s * 1980 - C++ : Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup. The idea of creating a new language originated from Stroustrup's experience in programming for his Ph.D. thesis. It is an efficient compiler to native code, its application domains include systems software, application software, device drivers, embedded software, high-performance server and client applications * 1983 - Ada : Developed...

...programming and data structuring. 2. C (1972) – Created by Dennis Ritchie to provide low-level access to memory, to provide language constructs that map efficiently to machine instructions, and to require minimal run-time support. 3. Prolog (1972) – Created by Alain Colmerauer which has been used for theorem proving, expert systems, as well as its original intended field of use, natural language processing. 4. ML (1973) – Created by Robin Miner which is known for its use of the Hindley–Milner type inference algorithm, which can automatically infer the types of most expressions without requiring explicit type annotations. 5. SQL (1974) – Created by Donald D. Chamberlin and Raymond S. Boyce which was designed for managing data held in a relational database management system (RDBMS), or for stream processing in a relational data stream management system (RDSMS). 1980’s 1. C++ (1983) – Created by Bjarne Stroustrup designed with a bias toward system programming and embedded, resource-constrained and large systems, with performance, efficiency and flexibility of use as its design highlights. 2. Ada (1980) – Created by Jean Ichbiah designed to improve the safety and maintainability by leveraging the compiler to find compile-time errors in favor of runtime errors. 3. Objective-C (1983) – Created by Brad Cox and Tom Love designed as a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style messaging to the C programming language. 4. Perl...

...field ultimately come down to programming the computer to do a specific function or task. If you don’t have the basic skills of programming concepts you will be lost when it comes to trouble shooting any problems. As an It professional you will come across many circumstances that will require you to have programming fundamentals to do the job required at the time. Having knowledge in the JAVA language is beneficial to the IT professional. Java is probably the most used programming language out in the market today and you need to have some understanding to maintain the ability to compete in the IT world. As an IT professional and being a non-programmer you need to have some knowledge of how to write and read a program. Learning the fundamentals of programming will help you understand...

...Five advantages: 1. C++ is well-suited for large projects because it has an object-oriented structure. People can collaborate on one program by breaking it up into parts and having a small group or even one individual work on each part. The object-oriented structure also allows code to be reused a lot, which can cut down development time. C++ is also a fairly efficient language - although many C programmers will disagree. 2. C is a popular language, especially in game programming, because it doesn't have the extra packaging of the object-oriented C++. Programmers use C because it makes programs slightly faster and smaller than programs written in C++. You might wonder, however, whether it's worth giving up the reusability of C++ to get the small increase in performance with C, especially when C++ can, where necessary, be written in a C programming style. 3. Pascal is primarily a teaching language. Few industrial programs are written in Pascal. Pascal tends to use keywords instead of C-style braces and symbols, so it is a bit easier for beginners to understand than languages like C++. Still, not everyone thinks Pascal is just for the schools. Borland, the huge compiler software company, has been pushing Delphi as an industrial strength programming language. Delphi is an object-oriented version of Pascal, and currently, only Borland compilers use it. 4. Java is a multi-platform language that is especially useful in networking. Of course, the most famous usage of Java is on...

...PHP Tutorial - Learn PHP If you want to learn the basics of PHP, then you've come to the right place. The goal of this tutorial is to teach you the basics of PHP so that you can: • • • Customize PHP scripts that you download, so that they better fit your needs. Begin to understand the working model of PHP, so you may begin to design your own PHP projects. Give you a solid base in PHP, so as to make you more valuable in the eyes of future employers. PHP stands for PHP Hypertext Preprocessor. PHP - What is it? Taken directly from PHP's home, PHP.net, "PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly." This is generally a good definition of PHP. However, it does contain a lot of terms you may not be used to. Another way to think of PHP is a powerful, behind the scenes scripting language that your visitors won't see! When someone visits your PHP webpage, your web server processes the PHP code. It then sees which parts it needs to show to visitors(content and pictures) and hides the other stuff(file operations, math calculations, etc.) then translates your PHP into HTML. After the translation into HTML, it sends the webpage to your visitor's web browser. PHP - What's it do? It is also helpful to think of PHP in terms of what it can do for you. PHP will allow you to: ...

...Steve Ingwer ET2560 Phil Keck Friday Evenings WHY C IS STILL USED The main thing that my research has uncovered is the performance and reliability Of C programming. Many have also spoken of the ease of use that C provides, Which as of yet I have not found to be true but I am still learning and these people were all experienced users. They have also brought to point the great insight into programming that C offers and the ability it affords you to learn another language. ( A computer language) C also gives the user a feeling of empowerment and control being that close to the “Bare Metal” of the programming process. Many programs written today are C derivitives such as Java ( considered a cousin to C). C is still widely used and can be used in standalone executables. It also compiles for every platform and every processor architecture. A major reason why C is still in use is the fact that they keep extending and rewriting C so it stays fresh and up to date. There is also a lot of existing software that is C and C++ and converting it to another programming method would be costly and take a great effort. C also starts from scratch and has foundational concepts that today’s concepts stand on. Major parts of Windows, Unix and Linux are still written in C. In order to understand some of today’s other computer languages, Such as the afore mentioned cousin to C, Java, one must first learn C in order to learn the other languages more easily. Many of today’s Device...
