Algorithms
• computer as the tool• process – algorithm
– Arithmetic: addition,subtraction,multiplication,division
– Save information for future use– Receive and put out information - i/o – Comparison– Repeat any group of operations

Assignment operator=
• Value assigning differs from equalityx = 3 vs if x = 3
• variable = expression
variable = expression
• variable -physical location in computer memory • expression
– constantx = 10;x = PI;
– another variable to which a value has previously been assigned
y = x;– a formula to be evaluated
y = a* x /2 + 3;

assignment
• Processor evaluates the right member of an assignment statement to get a single value
• it places this value in the memory location (variable name) given as the left member.
• Not a mathematical equation, can't be switchedstamp = 14 is a valid assignment statement14 = stamp is not
• The left member of an assignment statement must always be the name of a computer memory location (variable name). It cannot be a constant or formula.
Invalid assignment
14 = x;a + x = 2 + y;Why?

int stuff;
string name;
int widget;
int numWidgets;

Assignment Statement What happens in memory
numWidgets = 10; the value 10 is placed in the memory location numWidgets
numWidgets = numWidgets + 1; numWidget is evaluated. Contains a 10, one is added to 10, 11 is stored at the memory location numWidgets
name = "toby" the four characters t-o-b-y are stored in the memory location name(note: The single quotes are used as delimiters and are not stored in memory.)
stuff = numWidgets; Assuming the value 11 in the memory location numWidgets, this assignment statement places the value 11 in answer(note: Now both stuff and numWidgets have the same value.)
widget = numWidgets * 2 the ALU evaluates the expression on the right and places the value 30 in the memory location widget

Addition +

Subtraction -
int x;
x = x - 1; // this is a decrement
float grossPay;
float tax;
float netPay;
netPay = grossPay - tax;cosc175/operators 10
Multiplication *
int x;
x = x * 2;
float bill;
float tip;
float totalBill;
tip = bill * .20; // could use constant here
totalBill = bill + tip;cosc175/operators 11
Division /
Can’t divide by zero
integer division yields integer result
5/10 => 0
10/3 => 3
5/10.0 => .5
(float) num1/num2 => float result

Modulus %
Remainder10 % 5 => 0
23 % 5 => 3
7 % 2 => 1

Useful for determining even or odd numbers

Assume the assignment statements are in sequence. (Helpful hint: First, evaluate the expression given the right member and then place that value in the memory location specified as the left member of the assignment statement.)

Trace
• Trace - simulate the algorithm using known results (desk check)
• Most major logic errors occur during the development of the algorithm
• test data- simple input
