Computer Engineering Department
College of Engineering
• Define computer programming
• Discuss the fundamental elements of programming
• Differentiate between the types of programming languages
• Enumerate examples of high level programming languages
• Get familiarized with the VBA environment
• is a step by step process of designing and developing various sets of computer
programs to accomplish a specific computing outcome.
• Programming Environment • Loops
• Basic Syntax • Numbers
• Data Types • Characters
• Variables • Arrays
• Keywords • Strings
• Basic Operators • Functions
• Decision Making • File I/O
• a procedure or formula used for solving a problem.
• based on conducting a sequence of specified actions in which these actions
describe how to do something.
• an informal way of programming description that does not require any strict
programming language syntax or underlying technology considerations.
• used for creating an outline or a rough draft of a program.
Computing for the area of a triangle

1. Get the base


2. Get the height
3. Multiply the base and the height
4. Divide the product by two
5. Write the result
6. Write the unit
You will need the following setup to start with Low-Level Language
programming using any programming language. - 0s and 1s
- Directly understood by the
computer
• A text editor to create computer programs.
• A compiler to compile the programs into binary High-Level Language
format. - Understood by human but
not by computer
• An interpreter to execute the programs directly. - Translated to LLL/machine
language using compilers
- ex: Java, Python, Visual Basic

Type Description

Boolean Logical True or False

Byte Whole numbers from 0 to 255 (unsigned)

Char (single character) Single alphanumeric character

String Alphanumeric values

Date 0:00:00 (midnight) on January 1, 0001 through


11:59:59 PM on December 31, 9999
Type Description

Integer Whole numbers from -32, 768 to 32, 767

Long Large whole numbers from –(2x109) to +(2x109)

Currency Numbers that can be adjusted to decimal places

Single Floating point up to 7 significant figures

Double Floating point up to 14 significant figures

Variant Holds any types of values


• used to store values that may vary and change in a computer program.
• can be divided into 2 types: numeric (holds numbers) and string (holds
alphanumeric texts).

NAMING VARIABLES
• Should not exceed 255 characters
• Cannot use reserved words in VB
• Case sensitive
SCOPE OF VARIABLES

• Can be local to the procedure or local to the whole form.


• Variables local to a procedure can be used only in that procedure and are
declared after a DIM reserve word.

• Variables may also be declared as public or private.


Public - visible to all code inside the module and all code outside
the module, essentially making it global.
Private - visible only to code inside the module.
• Refer to fixed values.
• Can also be local or global, private or public.
Assumptions: B = 2, C = 5, D = 7
