The document discusses the basic components of a computer, including the motherboard, hard disk drive, CD-ROM drive, floppy drive, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. It then explains the basic process of input, processing, and output when performing tasks on a computer. Finally, it provides an overview of different levels of programming languages from machine language to high-level languages like Python and Java.
Introduction To Programming in Matlab
- 2. Components of a computerMotherboard - This is where the core components of your computer reside. Some of them are: Microprocessor - This is the brain of your computer.
- 3. Memory - The RAM in your system is mounted on the motherboard
- 4. Drive controllers - The drive controllers control the interface of your system to your hard drives. Components of a computer2. Hard disk drive(s) - This is where your files are permanently stored on your computer. Also, normally, your operating system is installed here.
- 5. Components of a computer3. CD-ROM drive(s) - This is normally a read only drive where files are permanently stored. There are now read/write CD-ROM drives that use special software to allow users to read from and write to these drives.
- 6. Components of a computer4. Floppy drive(s) - A floppy is a small disk storage device that today typically has about 1.4 Megabytes of memory capacity.
- 7. Components of a computer5. Monitor/ LCD Screen - This device which operates like a TV set lets the user see how the computer is responding to their commands.
- 8. Components of a computer6. Keyboard - This is where the user enters text commands into the computer.
- 9. Components of a computer6. Keyboard - This is where the user enters text commands into the computer.
- 10. Components of a computer7. Mouse - A point and click interface for entering commands which works well in graphical environments.
- 11. Performing a Task on the Computer:7. Mouse - A point and click interface for entering commands which works well in graphical environments.InputProcessingOutput
- 12. Code Hierarchy
- 13. Machine LanguageThe fundamental language of the computer’s processor, also called Low Level Language.
- 14. All programs are converted into machine language before they can be executed.
- 15. Consists of combination of 0’s and 1’s that represent high and low electrical voltage.Assembly LanguageA low level language that is similar to machine language.
- 16. Uses symbolic operation code to represent the machine operation code.High Level LanguageComputer (programming) languages that are easier to learn.
- 17. Uses English like statements.
- 18. Examples are C, C ++, Visual Basic, Pascal, Fortran and …....Programming LanguagesA programming language is a vocabulary and set of grammatical rules for instructing a computer to perform specific tasks. The term programming language usually refers to high-level languages, such as JAVA, Python, BASIC, C, C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, Ada, and Pascal. A programming language is a set of rules that provides a way of telling a computer what operations to perform.
