CSIS 113A Introduction To C++ Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Overview Of A Computer The Hardware CPU Disk I/ODevices Memory Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Memory The Memory • Memory is addressed by byte • In our Windows machines 1 byte = 8 bits • Each bit can be 0 or 1 • Memory can hold • Program instructions • Data 000 10010110 001 00110010 002 10111101 003 11000110 004 01010000 005 11011110 006 10100101 007 11011111 008 00110101 … Max 00101101 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Memory II TheMemory • Memory is split into space for program instructions and for data • Data space is usually further subdivided • Static/constant • Stack • Heap ProgramInstructions Data Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
CPU And Memory The CPU ProgramCounter Instruction register Other Registers Memory Other Registers ... OtherRegisters • In our Windows machines these registers are 32 bits wide ALU Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
The OS • Operating System • Windows • Linux • Applications • Editor • Compiler • The programs we will write Applications OperatingSystem APIs Drivers Hardware = Software Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Developing C++ Programs • Steps to develop a program • Write C++ instructions, store in source-code file • The following two steps are usually automated • Use compiler to turn source into object code • Use linker to create executable • Use a debugger to examine and test program • Standalone tools vs. an IDE • Integrated Development Environment combines tools • You should know how to use individual tools Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Compile, Link, Execute SourceCode ObjectCode Preprocessor Compiler Comments (discarded) Linker .exe Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Comments • Way to leave notes in your code • Ignored by compiler • You should use them liberally • 2 types • Single line // • Everything after the double slash is a comment up to the end of the line • Multi-line /* */ • /* everything between • Is a comment */ Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Required for homework • All assignments must have comments at the top of each page! /*Name: Glenn StevensonSID#: 1234567Date: todays dateLab #: 1Description: you can simply copy and paste from the assignment descript itself */ • Failure to add comments to your assignments can result in a 0 grade Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Functions & main • C++ is typically a cooperating group of functions • Functions • Like a small program within a large program • Used to perform a specific task • main – function where your program begins • Your program must have a main function • Programs need a place to start • Program will not link without a main function Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Anatomy of main • C++ is a case Sensitive language • Function Header • First line of function • Function Body • Code between opening and closing braces • All blocks have an opening and a closing brace • Return Statement • What this function returns • Where does in return to? Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Statements / Blocks • Statements • Any valid line of C++ code • Statements are terminated by a semicolon • Can span multiple lines compiler looks for ; as a marker • Compiler generates an error when a statement is not terminated by a semicolon • Blocks • Any code that has an opening & closing brace • Not terminated by a semicolon • Function main has opening and closing brace • Function body then is a block of code Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Our First Program! // myfirst.cpp - A simple C++ program #include <iostream> // Preprocessor statement using namespace std; // Make cout visible int main() // Function header { cout << "Hi, my name is Glenn Stevenson"; cout << "\n"; return 0; } Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Ananlyizing myFirst.cpp • #include <iostream> • Has definitions input and output streams • C++ has much functionality included • using namespace std; • Use built functionality from standard library • int main() • Function header of main followed by the body of main (code between the baces) • cout << “Hi my name is Glenn Stevenson”; • cout puts information to screen • cout << “\n”; • Moves the cursor to the next line on the console window • Called an escape character, more about that later Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
What is wrong with this code? // myfirst.cpp - A simple C++ program #include <iostream> // Preprocessor statement using namespace std; // Make cout visible int Main(); // Function header { cout << "Hi, my name is Glenn Stevenson"; cout << "\n"; return 0; }; Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
The preprocessor • Separate program called CPP [C Pre-Processor] • Massages source code before giving it to compiler • Preprocessor instructions are called directives • Preprocessor directives all begin with # • The #include <iostream> directive says • "Send the declarations and definitions in the iostream header to the compiler at this point" • What is a "header"? • "Family" of declarations and definitions • Normally stored in a file (or translation unit as it is called in C++), but doesn't have to be Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
The Preprocessor II #include <iostream> // Preprocessor statement SourceCode ObjectCode Preprocessor Compiler Header Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
The Preprocessor III • Traditional [C-style] headers all end in .h • Standard C++ headers: • Don't have ".h" suffix • Don't necessarily refer to file names • Older [pre-IS0] compilers won't support • Under Turbo C++, for instance, you write: • #include <iostream.h> • And don’t get namespace functionality • Do not use the C-style headers • C++ Style Guide 7.1.1 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
The Standard Headers • 51 headers available in Standard C++ • 18 ANSI C Standard library headers • Available in traditional and new styles • <stdio.h> and <cstdio> • 13 Standard Template Library [STL] headers • Collections and algorithms [generic programming] • 9 Input/Output [I/0] stream headers • String, exception, memory management, and various data structure classes not in the STL Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Namespaces using namespace std; // Make cout visible • A namespace defines a region where names are valid • In C, all function names are "global" • Headers combine functions into "families" • Namespaces combine families into "neighborhoods" • All Standard C++ library functions and objects are in the std namespace • C library functions also in std with new headers • Some older compilers have not fully implemented this Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Namespaces II • To use a function in a namespace • Prefix it with namespace and :: [scope resolution] • Example: using the standard sqrt() function • #include <cmath> // In std namespacedouble ans = std::sqrt(5.25); • In this class, you'll often import entire std namespace • "Import" with using namespace declaration Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Literals • Called literals because they are values that are literally stated • 1 // integer literal – whole number • 2.2 // floating point literal • .3 // floating point literal • 'h‘ // single character literal • "Hello“ // string literal • Don’t confuse single characters for strings! • This is not legal ‘hello’ and • ‘h’ is different from “h” Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
C++ Output cout << "Hi, my name is Glenn Stevenson"; • I/O is supplied as part of the standard library • Definitions found in the <iostream> header • Standard I/O is represented as a stream • cout uses the stream extraction operator • << notice that it points at cout! • Can use many insertion operators to separate types • Cout << “hello my lucky number is “ << 7 << endl; • endl does the same thing as “\n” • Moves cursor to next line on console window Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Changing Numbers With cout • You can output numbers in many formats • Send format type to cout • Hexadecimal – Base 16 • cout << hex << 16 << endl; • Outputs 10 because 10 is 16 in hex • Octal – Base 8 • cout << oct << 9 << endl; • Outputs 10 because 9 is 10 in octal • Decimal – Base 10 • cout << dec << 10 << endl; • Outputs 10 • Will output desired format until changed or program ends Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
What is a stream? • Streams are abstract information flows • Data flows into your program from a source • Your program processes the data • Information flows out of your program to a sink • Sending info to a sink is called writing • Getting info from a source is called reading Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Standard streams • C++ initially creates at least 3 stream objects • Also known as standard input, output, and error • cin : input connected to the keyboard • cout : output connected to the monitor • cerr : output connected to the monitor Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Formatting your code • C++ is a free-form language • Interchangably use spaces, tabs and newlines • int main() { cout << "Hi"; return 0; } • int main ( ) {cout <<"Hi" ; return 0 ; } Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Formatting II • Cannot use whitespace between parts of a token • A token is one or more characters with a single meaning • /*, */, <<, // are all tokens • Keywords like int and return are tokens • Here are some uses of illegal whitespace with tokens in t main( ) { cout < < "Hi" ; ret urn 0; } • You cannot put a literal newline in a string cout << “This is illegal”; cout << “But this ” “is legal!”; Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Code Formatting III • Must use whitespace to separate some tokens • cout<<"Hello there"; // Not required • intmain(){return0;} // Spaces neededint main(){return 0;} // OKint main(){return(0);} // OK Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Values & Variables • Values are discrete quantities of data • Here are some values: • 1, 3.1459, “Glenn”, D, true • Values represent different kinds of things • In programming, this is called a value's type • integers, real, text [strings], characters, Boolean • Variables are: • Named storage locations that holdvalues • Every variable holds a value of a certain type • The type defines the legal operations and the required memory to store it (size) Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Declaring Variables • C++ has two statements devoted to variables • Declaration statements and assignment statements • A declaration statement specifies: • The name of memory location • The kind of thing (type) stored at the location int fleas; • This creates an integer variable named fleas • The compiler sets aside memory to store an int • The amount of memory for an int is implementation dependent • Makes sure that you use variable appropriately • Cannot store a string in fleas, for instance Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Variable Definition I • I like to think of the compiler taking a box of the correct size for the type of variable (a variable can be from 1 to n bytes in size), and writing the name, type of variable and its address on the outside. • The box will hold the value of the variable when it’s used. • The boxes are then stacked away in storage Name: i Type: int Address: 5000 Name: ch Type: char Address: 5004 Name: r Type: double Address: 5005 4 byte box 1 byte box 8 byte box Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Variable Definition II x int 5000 ch char 5004 r double 5005 5000 … x5001 …5002 …5003 … 5004 … ch5005 … r5006 …5007 … … Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
LValues • An LValue is nothing more than something that is to the left of the equal sign. • Since values get assigned from right to left, the lvalue must alway be a variable . • This means that you cannot do something like this: int x = 30; 25 = x; //Can’t Do this Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Variable Naming Rules • Variable names can consist of letters, numbers, and the underscore but cannot begin with a number. • They can also not be a C++ keyword like if, else, for, etc. • Variable names cannot contain a space character. int my Var; // This is not validint myVar; // This is valid Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Naming Conventions • Naming conventions have changed over the years it used to be that if you had a variable name that had two words in it you would separate the words with an underscore. • int my_int_variable; • Later people starting capitalizing every word. • int MyIntVariable; • Currently, the convention is to capitalize from the second word on: • int myIntVariable; Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Number Types • C++ has several number types in two categories • Integral • Counting numbers • Signed • Unsigned • Floating-point • Real numbers (numbers with a fractional part) Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Numeric Type Sizes Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Losing Precision • Copying values from one type of a variable to another type can force a loss of data. double d = 33.456;int x; x = d; • x holds an integer value and the code is attempting to store double in it. • These are different size buckets! • the double will get truncated to an integer • The value stored in x is 33. Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Losing Precision II • You can put smaller values into bigger buckets because they will fit: . double d;int x = 30; d = x; //This is fine, no loss of data • You may actually want to store a large value in a small bucket. • You can do this without the compiler complaining by casting the value. • Future topic Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers • Unsigned (positive) binary integers • Converting a binary number to decimal • Each binary digit represents a power of 2 • Just like decimal digits represent power of 10 • So what is 10110101 binary in decimal? • 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 • 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 • 128 0 32 16 0 4 0 1 • = 181 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers II • So what’s 0x608bfa05 in decimal? • 5 x 160 = 5 x 1 = 50 x 161 = 0 x 16 = 0A x 162 = 10 x 256 = 2,560F x 163 = 15 x 4096 = 61,440B x 164 = 11 x 65536 = 720,8968 x 165 = 8 x 1048576 = 8,388,6080 x 166 = 0 x 16777216 = 06 x 167 = 6 x 268435456 = 1,610,612,736 1,619,786,245 • So 01100000100010111111101000000101= 014042775005 = 0x608bfa05 = 1,619,786,245 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers III • Converting a decimal number to binary • Find largest power of 2 and subtract; repeat • Example: Decimal 89 as binary • Largest power of 2 is 64 : 0100-0000 • Subtract 64 from 89 = 25 • Find next power of 2 [16] : 0101-0000 • Subtract 16 from 25 = 9 • Find next power of 2 [8] : 0101-1000 • Subtract 8 from 9 = 1 • Find next power of 2 [1] : 0101-1001 • = 0x59 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Number IV • A way with a lot less work – convert to hex first • Find the largest power of 16 and subtract the multiples • Example: Decimal 89 as binary • Largest power of 16 is 16: 0x50 • Subtract 5 * 16 from 89 = 9 • Next smallest power of 16 is 1: 0x59 • Subtract 9 * 1 from 9 = 0 • Convert hex to binary by inspection • = 0101 1001 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers V • An easier way to convert • In Windows there is a calculator application (usually in the accessories group) • Make certain that the scientific option is selected under the view menu • Use the Hex, Oct, Dec and Bin radio buttons to convert numbers • You’re probably now wondering why do I need to know this stuff??? • C++, like it predecessor C, can do low-level programming • You can “bit-twiddle” which is frequently necessary when dealing with hardware and systems programming • When examining memory the addresses and values are normally displayed in hex Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers VI • How can signed binary integers be stored? • One scheme is called sign-magnitude method • Give up a bit to represent sign (0 = positive) • Remaining bits represent magnitude • 1011 - 0101 = - (32 + 16 + 4 + 1) = -53 • Not generally used because of the two-zeros problem • 0000-0000 = +0 1000-0000 = -0 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers VII • One’s complement • MSB [most-significant-bit] is used for sign bit • If it is set, then one's complement is used to calculate the magnitude of negative number • One’s complement: • Reverse every bit (0 1 and 1 0) • Also called complement • Interpret result as an unsigned number • Place minus sign in front of answer • Still results in two zeros • 0000 – 0000 = +0 • 1111 – 1111 = -0 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers VII • Two's complement results in one zero • MSB [most-significant-bit] is used for sign bit • If it is set, then two's complement is used to calculate the magnitude of negative number • Two's complement: • Reverse every bit [simple, or one's complement] • Add one to the result • Interpret result as an unsigned number • Place minus sign in front of answer Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
Binary Numbers VIII • Wait a minute, how do I add 1 in binary? • 0 0 1 +0 +1 +1 0 1 10 • 1 + 1 = 0 carry 1 • So • 1011 + 1 1100 Glenn Stevenson CSIS 113A MSJC
