CHAPTER 2

Program Development Environment

Basic Syntax of Programming

Variable Declarations

Data Types

Involves translating high-level language (programminglanguage such as C,C++, Visual Basic, C#)

Because computers do NOT understand high level language!

Typical program development environment consist of six phases to be executed.

Edit/Write

Preprocess

Compile

Link

Load

Execute

1. Creating a Program

o Types or creates program in an editor

o Makes corrections if necessary

o Saves or stores program on disk such as C:\

or A:\ etc.

Editor or text editor is a type of program used for editing plain text files. E.g dev/turbo

Turbo C

editor(free)

DEV C++

(free)

2. Preprocessing

Write a command to compile the program.

Preprocessor program executes automaticallyand process the program code.

The preprocessor obeys commands from preprocessor directives.

Preprocessing occurs before a program is compiled.

3.Compiling a Program

When compiled, compiler translates program into machine language code and creates object code. The object code will be stored in disk.

Dialog box in Turbo C

editor shows

compiling proccess.

Select

Compile

3.Compiling a Program

The object code will be only created if the translation process into machine code is successful.

If unsuccessful, error messages will be displayedin the compiling dialogue box.

fix all the errors before proceed to the next phase.

The process of correcting errors is called debugging.

4.Linking

A linker links the object code with the libraries.

A linker will creates an executable file and stores it on diskif the program compiles and links correctly.

A linker might name the executable file with .exe file extension depending on type of programming languageused.

5. Loading

Before a program can be executed, the program must firstbe placed in memory.

Loader takes the stored program from disk and puts in memory.

Additional components from shared libraries that support the program are also loaded.

6. Executing

CPU takes each instructions and executes it.

Results or output will be displayed.

Terms Description

Machine language

Binary number codes understood by a specific CPU.

High-level language

Machine-independent programming language that combines algebraic expressions and English symbols.

Source file File containing a program written in a high-level language; the input for compiler

Compiler Software that translates a high-level language program into machine language.

Linker Software that combines object files and create an executable machine language program.

Error(bugs)

Syntax ErrorsRun-time

ErrorsLogic Errors

Common Programming Errors

Syntax Error1Error occurred during compilationnormally due to syntax problem

Misplaced else. Declaration syntax error Undefined symbol ‘_main’ in module. Statement missing in function main()

Example:

Common Programming Errors

Logic Error2

Error occurred due to inappropriate

output.Programming mistake.Not detected during compilation.

Common Programming Errors

Which ONE?number pin or pin number?

Common Programming Errors

Run-time Error3

Error occurred due to wrong user input.

User’s mistake.

System would either display alert message or hang.

C Basic Structure

Utility program which link files from compiler library to the program code.

Must be included in the first line of a computer program.

Must be started with the symbol #, otherwise syntax errorswill be occurred.

Two types of common preprocessor directive: #include and#define.

Preprocessor Directive

#include <header file> or #include “user defined files”

Format:

Example

#include <stdio.h>#include <conio.h>#include “jam.h”

Preprocessor Directive

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

A directive to the C preprocessor Lines beginning with # are processed by the

preprocessorbefore the program is compiled.

The above code line tells the preprocessor to include thecontents of stdio.h ( standard input/output header)

Called from standard library

Preprocessor Directive

Header file List of functionsstdio.h printf(), scanf(),fflush(),

dll

conio.h clrscr(),putch().getc().dll

math.h sqrt(),pow(), log(),dll

Standard Library

Consists of built-in functions

Functions contains standard instructions

Function will be called and linked to program via header file

User-definedLibrary

List of header file and its function

Contain functions defined by programmer.

Developed by expert programmers.

Header file List of user-defined functions

utama.h cetak(),baca(),papar(),dll

kira.h plus(),minus(), divide(),dll

#define “file name” or #define constant_name constant_value

Format:

Example

#define MAX 100

Preprocessor Directive

The part in which the program code will be started toexecute.

Consists of main function, C statements and identifiers. Use { to start the program code and } to end the

program code.

main function { //identifiers //C statements }

Format :

Program body

int main( ){ return 0;} Main function

void main( ){ …………..}

main( ){ return 0;}

Main Function

Write the most basic structures of C programming.

#include <stdio.h>void main(){}

Instructions to be executed by computersEvery statements must be ended with semicolon

Comment

Using references from any C book, find and studythe following concepts (definition and examples):

A) Reserved WordB) VariableC) Constant

Standard/special word in standard library

Contain special meaning understood by compiler

RulesCase –sensitiveMust be written insmall case

Cannot be used as identifieror variables

Reserved Word

intThe acronym for integer

voidRefer to the function that will not

return any value

case default switch break

for continue float double

return while if do int

Example:

Reserved Word

Representing particular name in programmingStore values to be used in programmingRefers to the storage in computer

Standard identifier

User-definedidentifierType

Identifier

Special built-in wordsReferred as function name which will called from C library

Standardidentifier

printf() scanf()puts() gets()

Identifier

Name given to the declaration of data to be used in program Refer to the storage nameStore data values/result/output

User-definedidentifier

Constant VariableType

Identifier

User-defined identifier

Identifiers name can only consists of name, number and underscore

Identifiers name cannot be started with numbersSymbol cannot be used in identifier nameCannot contains spaces between two identifiers

nameIdentifiers name should be uniqueIdentifiers is not case sensitive

Constant

How to give name to a constant value?

Follow identifiers rules

Identifier

Declaration format:

const float pi = 3.142;Reserved word

Data type
