High Level Languages High Level Languages • The closer a language is to your original specification, the easier the program is to write. • Many, many programming languages • LISP - LISt Processing • PROLOG - logic programming • MATLAB - matrix and vector manipulations • BASIC – interpreter for small computers • APL – matrix and vectors • FORTRAN – formula translation • COBOL – business and accounting • PASCAL – procedural • Ada – DOD large systems • Java – Internet • C, C++ …. 3.1 - The C Language
High Level Languages High Level Languages • Allow us to use symbolic names for values • Programmer simply assigns each value a name • Allow us to ignore many memory details. numberOfDays = 30; switch_A = ON; • Provide abstraction of underlying hardware • Hide low level details (ISA) from programmer • Portable software (works on different ISAs) printf("Hello World!"); • Provide expressiveness • Express complex tasks with smaller amount of code • English-like and human constructs if(isCloudy) get(umbrella); else get(sunglasses); main() { readInput(); checkForErrors(); doCalculation(); writeOutput(); } • Enhance code readability • Can read like a novel… • Easier to debug/maintain 3.1 - The C Language
High Level Languages High Level Languages • Provide safeguards against bugs • Rules can lead to well-formed programs • structured programming (no GOTO statements) • Compilers can generate checks • array bounds checking • data type checking • Many languages provide explicit support for assertions • something that should be true - if it isn’t, then error assert(accountBalance >= 0); • High-level languages make complex programming simpler, while low-level languages tend to produce more efficient code • However, well-designed compilers frequently produce code comparable in efficiency to what most low-level programmers can produce by hand with better overall results 3.1 - The C Language

The C Language The C Programming Language • Developed between 1969 and 1973 by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. • C first developed for use in writing compilers and operating systems (UNIX). • A low-level high-level language • Many variants of C • 1989, the American National Standards Institute standardized C (ANSI C, most commonly used C) • “The C Programming Language” by Kernighan and Ritchie is the C “Bible” (Also called the “White Book”.) • C is one of the most popular programming languages of all time – very few computer architectures exist for which there is no C. • C is predecessor to most of today’s procedural languages such as C++ and Java. 3.1 - The C Language
Dennis Ritchie (1940-2011) Dennis Ritchie, the software developer who brought the world the C programming language and Unix operating system, has died at the age of 70. Ritchie (known by the username "dmr") was part of a dynamic software development duo with Ken Thompson at Bell Labs,, which they joined in 1967 and 1966, respectively. Ritchie created the C programming language, which replaced the B programming language Thompson invented. Two years later in 1969, they created Unix, initially designed for minicomputers. Unix was initially written in 1969 in assembly language and later in C. Unix went on to become key software for critical computing infrastructure around the world. “UNIX is very simple, it just needs a genius to understand its simplicity.” --Dennis Ritchie 3.1 - The C Language

C Preprocessor The C Preprocessor • #define symbol code • The preprocessor replaces symbol with code everywhere it appears in the program below #define NUMBER_OF_MONKEYS 259 #define MAX_LENGTH 80 #define PI 3.14159 • #include filename.h • The preprocessor replaces the #include directive itself with the contents of header file filename.h #include <stdio.h> /* a system header file */ #include "myheader.h" /* a user header file */ • Macros #define add(x,y) x+=y #define doLoop(x,y) do {x} while(y); doLoop(add(z,2),z<10) do {z+=2} while(z<10); 3.1 - The C Language
C Stream I/O C I/O • I/O facilities are not part of the C language itself • Nonetheless, programs do interact with their environment! • Most digital I/O handled directly by C program • #include "msp430.h" • SPR’s, Ports, A/D, transponder, switches, LED’s, etc • The ANSI standard defines a set of I/O library functions for portability • Programs that confine their system interactions to facilities provided by the standard library can be moved from one system to another without change. • The properties of the C I/O library functions are specified in header files • #include <stdio.h> (C standard library) • #include "RBX430_lcd.h" 3.1 - The C Language
C Stream I/O C Data Streams • C I/O is character based, using streams. • I/O streams must be opened / closed. • In standard C there are 3 streams automatically opened before main() is called: • stdin is the input stream • stdout is the output stream • stderr stream for error messages • printf function outputs formatted values to stdout stream • The printf function requires a format string followed by optional parameters: printf( "format string...", parameters... ); • The format string contains two object types: • Ordinary characters that are copied to the output stream • Conversion specifications which cause conversion and printing of the next argument in the argument list. 3.1 - The C Language
C Stream I/O Printf Output in C String literal • printf( format_string, parameters ) printf("Hello World"); printf("\n%d plus %d is %d", x, y, x+y); printf("\nIn hex it is %x", x+y); printf("\nHello, I am %s. ", myname); printf("\nInascii, 65 is %c. ", 65); • Output: Hello world 5 plus 6 is 11 In hex it is b Hello, I am Bambi. In ascii, 65 is A.

Variables volatile • volatile proceeding a variable name instructs the compiler to • prohibit caching the variable’s contents when optimizing code. • always re-read the variable’s value when accessing the variable. • not use computer registers to store a variable’s content. Sample P1IN when dcnt equals 0 Pressing a switch sets dcnt volatile intswitches,dcnt void main(void) { if (switches & 0x01) {...} } #pragma vector=PORT1_VECTOR __interrupt void Port_1_ISR(void) { P1IFG &= ~0x0f; // P1.0-3 IFG cleared dcnt= DEBOUNCE_CNT; // enable debounce } #pragma vector = WDT_VECTOR __interrupt void WDT_ISR(void) { if (dcnt&& (--dcnt== 0)) switches = (P1IN ^ 0x0f) & 0x0f; } Inform the compiler that integers switches and dcnt are not to be optimized. 3.1 - The C Language
Operators Operators and Expressions • Expressions are formed by combining variables with operators and ALWAYS return a single value in C. i = 5; i < j; a = (a < b); • Operators • Assignment – • changes the values of variables • Arithmetic – • add, subtract, multiply, divide • Bitwise – • AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and shifts on Integers • Relational – • equality, inequality, less-than, etc. • Logical – • AND, OR, NOT on Booleans • Increment/Decrement C supports a rich set of operators that allow the programmer to manipulate variables 3.1 - The C Language
Operators The Assignment Operator • The operator symbol is the equal sign • The expression on the right-hand side is evaluated and assigned to the left-hand variable int x = 9; x = x + 4; Stack sub.w #2,sp mov.w #9,0(sp) 0x05fa 0x05fc 0x05fe sp 0x05f0 X sp ... add.w #4,0(sp) 0x0600 3.1 - The C Language

Same Same Operators Logical Operators • Logical operators evaluate to Boolean • AND && • OR | | • NOT ! • Don’t confuse with Bitwise operators • Operate on Boolean inputs and produce Boolean outputs • Boolean inputs (how values are interpreted): • Value not equal to zero TRUE • Value equal to zero FALSE 10 && 20 110 && 0 0 if( 'a' <= x <= 'z' ) statement; // wrong! if(('a' <= x) && (x <= 'z')) statement; if(!x) statement;if(x == 0) statement; if(x) statement;if(x != 0) statement; 3.1 - The C Language
Expressions Order of Evaluation • Variable Coercion • When executing expressions of mixed types, C automatically converts integer to floating point and back again as needed. • Avoid the use of forced data conversion as operators may yield unanticipated results. • Order of expression evaluation: • Precedence – higher precedence operators evaluate first. • Associativity – operators of same precedence evaluate left to right (with a few exceptions). • Parentheses override all other evaluation rules. int x = 1; x is declared an integer x = x + 4.3; integer + floating point ?? (result is x = 5) 3.1 - The C Language
Bitwise Relational Relational Bitwise Bitwise Bitwise Logical Logical Expressions Operator Precedence/Associativity 3.1 - The C Language
Expressions Combined Assignment Operators • Arithmetic and bitwise operators can be combined with the assignment operator. x += y; x = x + (y);x -= y; x = x – (y);x *= y; x = x * (y);x /= y; x = x / (y);x %= y; x = x % (y);x &= y; x = x & (y);x |= y; x = x | (y);x ^= y; x = x ^ (y);x <<= y; x = x << (y);x >>= y; x = x >> (y); Note: All of the expression on the right is considered parenthesized. 3.1 - The C Language

The Game of Life 1. The Game of Life is theoretically played on an infinite Cartesian grid of square cells; each cell is either "alive" or "dead". The state of each cell for successive generations of Life is determined by how the cell interacts with its eight neighboring cells using the following rules (referred to as B3/S23): A live cell stays alive (survives) if it has 2 or 3 live neighbors, otherwise it dies. A dead cell comes to life (birth) if it has exactly 3 live neighbors, otherwise it stays dead. Computer RAM memory and LCD display area are limited on our development boards. Therefore, restrict your Life simulation to an 80 x 80 grid of binary square cells with the outer cells always being dead. The Game of Life
