Introduction Early days of computing

Programmers used assembly language

Programs written by technically oriented people

In this presentation, we provide an illustrative introduction to high-level programming languages, through covering the following aspects: Computer System Organization.

Programming Languages Reference Framework.

The Four Generations of Programming Languages.

The Life Cycle of High-Level Programing.

High-level Languages High-level programming languages

Includes third-generation languages

Overcame deficiencies of assembly language

Programmer didn’t need to manage details of data storage or movement

15

High-level Languages Expectations of a high-level language program

(continued)

Programmer can take a macroscopic view of tasks; “primitive operations” can be larger

Program will be portable

Code will be closer to standard English and use standard mathematical notation
