CSE1222: Lecture 1 The Ohio State University 1

Computing Basics Computers

CPU, Memory & Input/Output (IO)

ProgramSequence of instructions for the computer

Operating system (OS)Program which controls all other programs

CompilerProgram to convert programs written in C, C++,

Java, Fortran, etc. into machine language (i.e., 0’s and 1’s)


CSE 1222 Operating System: Unix (Linux)

Programming Language: C++

Editor: emacs

Compiler: GNU C++ compiler (g++)


First C++ Program - helloworld.cpp// This is a comment. The compiler ignores comments.

// header information// File iostream contains "cout" and "endl"// Namespace std contains "cout" and "endl"#include <iostream>using namespace std;

int main(){ cout << "Hello World!" << endl; cout << "Goodbye World!" << endl;

// Exit program. return 0; }


Syntax and Semantics A programming language is similar to a human language, e.g. English,

French, German, etc.

Syntax is the set of rules for forming “grammatically” correct statements

The compiler tells informs you if your program is syntactically correct (or incorrect)So, don’t misspell statements or leave out important symbols

Semantics refers to the meaning associated with syntax

For example, cout is the command to display output to your monitor

One of your jobs in this course is to learn the syntax and semantics of the C++ programming language

You must study C++ syntax and semantics of C++ closelyYou will be expected to write correct C++ programs on paper during the Midterm and Final Exams. So, practice writing programs on paper.


Compiling and running helloworld.cpp> g++ helloworld.cpp

The main Function

The main() function is where your programs will start executionYou will always need one of these

It tells the other modules in what order to execute.In a way, it “drives” your program


int main(){

// program statements here

return 0;}

include #include <iostream> is known a

preprocessor directive

It attaches the file, iostream, at the head of the program before it is compiled

“iostream” is needed to use the cout object

Note that preprocessor directives do not end with a semicolon


namespace using namespace std;

Tells the compiler to look in the namespace std (standard namespace) for objects (functions, classes, etc.) – more on this later

cout is in the namespace std


Outputting with cout

cout allows us to easily output data to the standard output display (your monitor)

Its name comes from “Console OUTput”.

In cout’s context, << is known as the insertion operator

Any literal (character string) that is to be output must be in between double quotes

The quotes delimit the text so the computer knows it is not an instruction


… cout << "Hello World!" << endl; cout << "Goodbye World!" << endl;…

helloworld2.cpp#include <iostream>using namespace std;

int main(){ // statements can be on multiple lines cout << "Hello World!" << endl; cout << "Goodbye World!" << endl; // comments can be here

return 0; // exit program}


Program Errors Syntax Errors

You probably misspelled something, forget a symbol(s), or added an erroneous symbol(s)

Also called compiler errors○ The job of the compiler is to deal with the syntactical

correctness of your program The following examples contain syntax errors

Logic and Run-Time Errors

These errors occur after the compiler has accepted your program as syntactically correct

These errors occur during the execution of your program

Program Errors Syntax Errors

You are expected to recognize and remember common Compiler errors You may be asked to identify these on an exam

Logic Errors

Your program made it past the compiler, i.e. is syntactically correct Your program successfully completed execution But, it gave you a wrong answer! If your program executes and outputs “2 + 2 = 5”, then your program

has a logical error

Run-time error

Your program made it past the compiler, i.e. is syntactically correct An error occurred during the execution of your program that made it

prematurely end before it could finish


helloworldError7.cpp1. // Example of logical error2. 3. #include <iostream>4. using namespace std;5. 6. int main()7. {8. cout << "Hello World!";9. cout << "Goodbye World!";10. 11. return 0; // exit program12. }

helloworld3.cpp/* This is also a comment. The compiler ignores comments. */

/* This is a multiline comment. The compiler ignores comments.*/

#include <iostream>using namespace std;

int main(){ /* These statements use '\n' for newline in place of "<< endl" */ cout << "Hello World!\n"; cout << "Goodbye World!\n";

return 0; /* exit program */}


mathExample1.cpp// math example

#include <iostream>#include <cmath> /* File cmath contains math functions:

sqrt, exp, sin, cos, ... */using namespace std; /* cout, endl, sqrt, exp are in

the namespace std */

int main(){ cout << "1+2+3+4+5+6 = " << 1+2+3+4+5+6 << endl; cout << "The average of 1,2,3,4,5,6 is “ <<

(1.0+2.0+3.0+4.0+5.0+6.0)/6.0 << endl; cout << "The reciprocal of 1+2+3+4+5+6 is “ <<

1.0/(1.0+2.0+3.0+4.0+5.0+6.0) << endl; cout << "The square root of 1+2+3+4+5+6 is “ << sqrt(1.0+2.0+3.0+4.0+5.0+6.0) << endl; cout << "e^(1+2+3+4+5+6) = " << exp(1.0+2.0+3.0+4.0+5.0+6.0) <<

endl;

mathExample1.cpp (2)

Multiple objects can be inserted into cout.

Objects that should not be taken literally should not be enclosed by double quotes. Here, we actually want to compute the expression 1+2+3+4+5+6.


… cout << "1+2+3+4+5+6 = " << 1+2+3+4+5+6 << endl;

…

mathError1.cpp// math error

#include <iostream>#include <cmath>using namespace std;

int main(){ // These statements are incorrect cout << "The average of 1,2,3,4,5,6 = “ << (1+2+3+4+5+6)/6 <<

endl; // WRONG! cout << "The reciprocal of 1+2+3+4+5+6 is “ << 1/(1+2+3+4+5+6)

<< endl; // WRONG!



> g++ mathError1.cpp

C++ Program Template (for now)#include <iostream>using namespace std;

int main(){ // program statements here



C++ Program Template (with Math)#include <iostream>#include <cmath>using namespace std;

int main(){ // program statements here



Comments and Programming Style Good programming style

The readability of your program by other C++ programmers is very important

This is required in your assignments

Pay attention to: Indent when appropriate. You will develop a feel for this as you

see more programs.

Place comments to help explain your code. Use them to describe what the program does, to put your name on the program, to describe a function, etc.

// ... is for single line comments/* ... */ are for multi-line comments

Comments are treated as white-space, and are unseen by the compiler
