Lesson 1 Programming

This document provides an introduction to computer programming. It discusses the input-process-output approach used in systems to transform input data into output. Input refers to entered data, process is any procedures performed, and output is the resulting outcome. The document also defines computer programs, programming, and programmers. It classifies programming languages and discusses the software development life cycle.

Lesson 1: Introduction to

Computer Programming

The Input-Process-Output (IPO) Approach


The Input-Process-Output (IPO) is a pattern or
approach that is widely used in systems for
transforming input data into output. This is used
to describe the structure of process.
Input- is any data entered into the computer
system. It could be resources such as people,
item details, or finance that are entered into
the system to obtain a desired output.

Process- a procedure being taken to provide


an output.

Output- serves as the outcome of the process.


It also meets the goal or end result of the
entire procedure.
Point-of-Sale (POS)
• System that is commonly used in a grocery or
a department store, checkout counter, identify
the information needed, information to be
processed, and expected outcome of the
system.
Computer Program
• Is a series of instructions written to perform a specified task
on a computer.

Programming- the art and science of creating programs

Programmer- the person who write, develops and debugs a


computer program.

Programming language- a tool that is used by the


programmer to communicate with the computer. It allows
programmers to write commands or instructions that can be
easily understood by a person and translated into codes that
are machibe-readable.
Classification of Programming
Language
1. The machine language- a computer is an electronic
machine; it can only feel electricity and is designed to
work with information
• Binary language/machine language- the only language
that can be used in the computer, uses only 2 numbers,
1 and 0.
 Binary numeral system- represents and processes
numbers using binary digits 0 and 1 which represented
by ‘on’ and ‘off’. This has 2 as a base.
 Decimal numeral system- represents numbers
understood by humans and it is composed of 0 to 9.
this number has 10 as a base.
2. The Assembly Language
• More advanced than the machine language as
it uses mnemonics in place of machine codes
to simplify the programmer’s way of creating
programs.
Mnemonics- are memory aids. It uses English
like abbreviation.
Assembler- the program that requires another
program to translate mnemonics into machine
code.
3. The High-level Language
• Allow programmers to use English commands to carry out
instructions.
 Interpreter- translates high-level instructions line by line
into machine code during runtime.
 Compiler- translates the entire program into machine code
before the program executes.
 Object-oriented programming language- is a high-level
programming language that uses GUI-based interfaces
 Object-oriented programming (OOP) and event driven
programming languages- with these languages, the
emphasis of creating a program was on the objects
included in the user interface like buttons and scrollbars.
Software Development Life Cycle
(SDLC)
• The process used in creating computer
systems. It consists of a detailed plan
describing how to develop and maintain
systems.
Stages in Software Development
• requirements-
• Planning/Design
• Implementation
• Testing and Debugging
• Deployment
• Support and Maintenance
