  1. EGR 141Computer Problem Solving in Engineering and Computer Science Programming Concepts and the Visual Basic 2005 Environment

  2. Four key areas • Designing Computer Applications • Programming Environment • Programming Language • Problem Solving

  3. Designing Computer Applications

  4. Programming Environment Toolbar Menu bar Title bar Project Explorer Window Property Window Form Window Toolbox

  5. Problem Solving 'Picture is accessed from 0 to width-1, 0 to height-1 'Go from 1 instead of 0 because we can't process edge of the image For x = 1 To pic.Width - 2 For y = 1 To pic.Height - 2 'fill picwindow with the 3x3 window at the current pixel 'this is the processing window For i = -1 To 1 For j = -1 To 1 'get the current pixel brightness r = pic.GetPixel(x + i, y + j).R g = pic.GetPixel(x + i, y + j).G b = pic.GetPixel(x + i, y + j).B pixelval = (r + g + b) / 3 picwindow(i + 1, j + 1) = pixelval Next j Next i newpixelval = 0 'Apply the 3x3 filter using convolution For i = 0 To 2 For j = 0 To 2 newpixelval = newpixelval + picwindow(i, j) * filter(i, j) Next j Next i 'truncate values smaller than zero and larger than 255 newpixelval = Math.Min(Math.Max(Int(newpixelval + bias), 0), 255) 'set the new picture in the new image newpic.SetPixel(x, y, Color.FromArgb(newpixelval, newpixelval, newpixelval)) Next y Next x Problem: Separate the ‘static’ noise from the valuable information Example: Remove the noise from the image shown.

  6. Problem Solving Example: In the image of the rollercoaster, separate the valuable edge information from the rest of the picture.

  7. Problem Solving Problem: Given information that we know, how can we predict information that we don’t know? Example: Use curve fitting to fill in the unknown information: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, … order fitting

  8. Problem Solving Using Divide and Conquer techniques to solve basic electronics problems Using Divide and Conquer techniques to solve basic dynamics problems

  9. The Language Sub Main() 'Override CurrentUICulture with the fallback culture Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("", False) Do 'Create a resource manager Dim MyResMgr As New ResourceManager("VBLocalizedHelloWorld.Strings", System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()) 'Print out the "HelloWorld" resource string & directions Console.WriteLine(MyResMgr.GetString("HelloWorld")) Console.WriteLine(MyResMgr.GetString("EnterCulture")) 'Get the new culture name Console.WriteLine(MyResMgr.GetString("NextCulture")) Dim NewCulture As String = Console.ReadLine() 'Switch to the desired culture Try Dim c As CultureInfo = New CultureInfo(NewCulture, False) Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = c Catch 'Fallback to the default culture if an invalid culture is entered Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("", False) End Try Loop Until (False) End Sub
