Programming A modern digital computer is simply a device that follows instructions. These instructions tell the computer to perform specific actions such as writing information to the video screen, performing complex computations, or reading data from a floppy disk. In order to solve a problem using a computer, we must express the solution to the problem in terms of the instructions of the particular computer. A computer program is actually just a list of instructions necessary to solve a specific problem, and the creation of this instruction list is computer programming. Programming is the process of producing a set of instructions for a computer to make it perform a specified task. The task can be anything from the solution to a mathematical problem to the production of a graphics package. The approach or method that is used to solve the problem is known as an algorithm. For example, if we wish to develop a program that tests if a number is odd or even, then the set of statements which solves the problem becomes the program. The method that is used to test if the number is even or odd is the algorithm. To develop a program, to solve a particular problem, we first express the solution to the problem in terms of an algorithm and then develop a program, which implements that algorithm. Then we can proceed to write the instructions necessary to implement the algorithm on a particular computer system. These instructions would be expressed in the statements of a particular computer language, such as BASIC, Pascal, or C. The words to the text: digital цифровой device проект, устройство, прибор to perform выполнять, делать, исполнять computation вычисление, подсчет, расчет floppy гибкий solution решение creation создание approach метод, подход odd нечетный, случайный even ровный, четный particular данный, конкретный, особый to implement выполнять, осуществлять, восполнять 2.

What is an algorithm? 6. What should be done to develop a program to solve a particular problem? UNIT 2 Introduction to Computer Languages
Machine Language A computer understands only the instructions written in a specific language, called machine language. When computers were first developed, the only way they could be programmed was in terms of binary numbers. A number can be represented in many different forms, in different number systems. The most commonly used number system is the decimal (or base 10) system. Society also uses a few other systems; the base 60 system is used to keep track of time (6 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour). Numbers represented in one number system can always be converted to another system. Thus, the binary numbers stored in a computer always correspond to a decimal number. The table below shows some binary number and their decimal counterparts: Binary Number Decimal Number
Although this will make perfect sense to a computer, it makes no sense to humans. People are not nearly as capable as computers in the handling of numbers, especially binary numbers. That’s why the next technological software advance occurred in the development of assembly languages, which enabled the programmer to work with the machine on a slightly higher level. Instead of having to specify sequences of binary numbers to carry out particular tasks, the assembly language permits the programmer to use symbolic names to perform various operations and to refer to specific memory locations. The assembly language words to perform the computation 2+2 are the following: Assembly Language Machine Language MOV AX, 2 101110000000001000000000 MOV BX, 2 101110110000001000000000 ADD AX, BX 0000001111000011 The assembly language words are easier to read, but to the layperson they will still mean very little. The figure below describes in English what this assembly language program does: Assembly Language English Description MOV AX, 2 Move the number 2 to a place called AX. MOV BX, 2 Move the number 2 to a place called BX ADD AX, BX Add the value in AX to the value in BX. The result (2+2) will be saved in AX. Computers understand only those programs written in machine language. Assembly language must be translated into machine language by a program called an assembler which takes the assembly language program and produces an equivalent machine language program. Different computers have different machine languages. For example, the IBM PC family of computers understands a completely different machine language than the Apple II or Macintosh computers. In fact, even the Apple II and Macintosh have different machine languages. These machine languages are as different from each other as English is from German. The words to the text: to develop разрабатывать, совершенствовать, развивать binary двоичные числа commonly обычно number system система счисления decimal number десятичная система to keep поддерживать, сохранять to convert превращать, обращать to store запасать, накапливать, сохранять to correspond соответствовать counterpart копия to handle обрабатывать to occur происходить, возникать instead of вместо to specify указывать to carry out выполнять to permit позволять, разрешать layperson непрофессионал figure цифра, диаграмма 2.Look through the text and find equivalents to the following terms. определенный язык были впервые разработаны может быть представлено наиболее обычно используемая технологический прогресс программного обеспечения дали возможность программисту использовать символические имена обращаться к определенным участкам памяти легко читаются создает эквивалентную программу отличаются друг от друга 3.Choose the definitions to the following terms. assembler A notation system in which the base for each digital position is 2. In this system numbers are represented by the two digits 0 and 1. Thus the binary number 10 represents 2 in the decimal system, while 100 represents 4. algorithm A low-level language in which instructions are the mnemonic equivalent of the code understood by the machine. Used for specialized applications where speed or compactness of code is the most important consideration. machine code A special program that converts a program written in a low-level language into machine code. assembly language A series of instructions or a step-by-step procedure for the solution of a problem. binary system Binary code numbers, the only language that computers can understand directly. 4. Translate the following questions and answer them. 1. Какой язык называется машинным языком?
5. Express your opinion of Machine Language. UNIT 3 Programming Languages 1. Read the text, try to understand it. There are alternatives to programming in machine and assembly language. Computer scientists have developed other languages which do not have these deficiencies. Languages are referred to as high-level or low-level, with high-level languages being closer to natural languages (such as English) and low-level languages being closer to machine language. The diagram below shows the relative position of several computer languages: Low-level languages High-level languages English C Pascal JAVA BASIC Assembly Language Machine Language Because there still exists a one-to-one correspondence between each assembly language statement and a specific machine instruction, assembly languages are regarded as low-level languages. Programs written in high-level languages have a number of advantages. First, they are easier to learn, understand, and modify than machine and assembly language programs. Second, high-level languages are not dependent from the machine language of any one type of computer. Programs written in high-level languages can be run on any machine. The type of programming which we must choose for a concrete project depends on the type of program that we want to make. For example, when programming is a driver for an operating system obviously we will use low-level programming. Whereas when programming great applications usually a higher level it is used, or a combination of critic parts written in low level languages and others in higher. Although there are languages that are clearly low-level, like Assembler, whose instructions vary according to the processor which the code is made for, and others of high level, like the JAVA, that is totally independent from the platform. The C++ language is in a middle term, since it can interact directly with the hardware almost without any limitation, as well as with the support of suitable specific libraries, works like one of the more powerful high-level languages. Computers can run only programs written in the language that they understand, their individual machine language. In order to support a higher-level language, a special computer program must be developed that translates the statements of the program developed in the higher-level language into a form that the computer can understand – in other words, into the particular instructions of the computer. High-level program Machine language program Translator The words and word combinations to the text: deficiency недостаток to refer относить, ссылаться, упоминать closer to ближе к natural languages естественные языки low-level languages языки низкого уровня to exist существовать a one-to-one correspondence взаимно однозначное соответствие advantage преимущество to run управлять, выполнять to depend on зависеть от obviously очевидно critic parts опасные части to vary менять, изменяться according to в соответствии с to support поддерживать, поощрять 2. Look through the text and find equivalents to the following terms. разработали другие языки языки относят к показывает относительную позицию имеют ряд преимуществ легче для изучения, понимания, изменения не зависят от машинного языка могут быть выполнены на любой машине тип программирования выбрать для конкретного проекта при программировании больших приложений меняются в соответствии с процессором полностью независимы от платформы взаимодействовать непосредственно с аппаратными средствами 3.Match the words on the left with the correct definition on the right. assembly language a computer program designed to be used for a particular purpose browser a set of instructions written in a computer language that control the behavior of a computer application the processes of writing a computer program using a computer language high-level language computer language such as machine code or assembly language that is closer to the form that a computer understands than to that of a human language programming a program used for displaying web pages machine code a low-level computer language that uses mnemonics rather than only numbers, making it easier than machine code for humans to read and write low-level language a programming language closer to human language than low-level computer language such as machine code or assembly language 4. Answer the questions. 1. What is called a computer program? 2. What advantages do programs written in high-level languages have? 3. How do you understand the term “binary numbers”? 4. What languages are regarded as low-level languages? Why? 5.Are programming languages artificial or natural?
5. Discuss these questions with a partner. Then tell your ideas. 1. How can you explain this statement “ high-level code is more portable”? 2. What does the term “ level of the programming language” determine? 3.What are the differences between low-level and high-level languages? 4. What does the term “ a programming language” mean? 5. What programming languages have you worked with? 6. What are the differences between them? UNIT 4 1. Read the text, translate it and try to understand what compiling programs are. Compiling Programs People communicate instructions to the computer in symbolic languages and the easier this communication can be made the wider the application of computers will be. Scientists are already working on Artificial Intelligence and the next generation of computers may be able to understand human languages. The translation of a high-level language into machine language is performed using one of two methods: compilation or interpretation. During compilation, a computer program called a compiler translates a program written in a high-level language entirely into machine language. The machine language version of the program can then run on the computer without the compiler. In interpretation, a computer program called an interpreter translates the high-level program into machine language in a line-by-line manner, each line of the high-level program being translated into machine language and then run by the computer. A compiler is a software program. A compiler analyzes a program developed in a particular computer language and then translates it into a form which is suitable for execution on a particular computer system. The program that is to be compiled is first typed into a file on the computer system. Computer installations have various conventions that are used for naming files, but in general, the choice of the name is up to you. The program that is entered into the file is known as the source program. Once the source program has been entered into a file, we can then proceed to have it compiled. The compilation process is initiated by typing in a special command on the system. When this command is entered, the name of the file that contains the source program must also be specified. In the first step of the compilation process, the compiler examines each program statement in the source program and checks it to ensure that it conforms to the syntax and semantics of the language. If any mistakes are discovered by the compiler during this phase, then they will be reported to the user and the compilation process will end right there. The errors will then have to be corrected in the source program, and the compilation process restarted. Typical errors reported during this phase of compilation might be due to an expression that has unbalanced parentheses (syntactic error) or due to the use of a variable which is not “defined” (semantic error). When all of the syntactic and semantic errors have been removed from the program, the compiler will then proceed to take each statement of the program and translate it into a “lower” form. On most machines, this means that each statement will be translated by the compiler into the equivalent statement or statements in assembly language needed to perform the identical task. After the program has been translated into an equivalent assembly language program, the next step in the compilation process is to translate the assembly language statements into actual machine instructions. This step may or may not involve the execution of a separate program known as an assembler. The assembler takes each assembly language statement and converts it into a binary format known as object code, which is then written into another file on the system. After the program has been translated into object code, it is then ready to be linked. The purpose of the linking phase is to get the program into a final form for execution on the computer. The words to the text: artificial искусственный entirely полностью, всецело particular особый, особенный suitable подходящий execution выполнение, исполнение to type печатать convention условность to contain содержать source program исходная программа to ensure гарантировать, заверять to conform соответствовать error ошибка due to из-за parentheses круглые скобки variable переменная to proceed продолжать to involve вовлекать, включать purpose цель, намерение 2. Look through the text and find equivalents to the following terms. сообщают команды тем шире будет применение компьютера искусственный интеллект способным понимать переводит строку за строкой компьютерные настройки выбор имени занесена в файл продолжать компилировать будут обнаружены ошибки процесс компиляции перезапускается были удалены из программы оператор программы эквивалентный оператор 3.Match the words on the left with the correct definition on the right. source program the program that translates the assembly language statements into machine instructions a compiler a program error caused by a fault affecting the operating system, usually due to a hardware failure assembler a mistake in a program due to a wrong word or punctuation symbol being used syntax error the program that is entered into the file system error a program that converts the whole of a program code before the the program is used 4. Answer the questions. 1.What methods can be used to translate a high-level language into machine language? 2.How can you explain the term “a line-by-line manner”? 3.What are the functions of a compiler? 4. How does the process of compilation start? 5. What are the steps in the compilation process? 6. What is known as object code? UNIT 5 1. Read the text, try to understand it. A short description of Basic BASIC is a general-purpose high-level programming language, originally designed to develop programs in conversational mode. The name BASIC stands for Beginner’s All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code. This language is found on most microcomputers because it is user-friendly and easy to learn. BASIC consists of two main parts: the source language statements- the instructions which form the program- and the system commands which allows us to control and edit a program. BASIC enables the user to interact with the program while it is being executed which means that data can be input while the program is running. Each instruction is given a line number which defines the logical sequence of statements within the program. Some well-known system commands in BASIC are: RUN, which executes a program held in a BASIC file; LIST, which prints a listing of a program on the screen; and DELETE, which removes a program from a file. A large number of PC manufacturers adopted BASIC. At present, however, there are so many versions and extensions that programs written for one type of PC are not directly portable to another. Visual Basic If you are new to Visual Basic, or even new to programming, this is the place! Visual Basic from the very ground up will be explained. The first thing you need to know about programming is that it is not magic. The TV and movie plots where the computer is scheming, thinking, entity are completely wrong. If a computer doesn’t have instructions to do something, it will not do anything. Your task as a programmer is to provide those instructions. The flip side if this is that if it is not doing what you intend, then it is because the instructions that it was given were wrong. The main flaw in this is that you do not give the computer all of the instructions. It gets a lot of them from other programmers at other times in the form of software like the compiler ( the program that turns a ‘programming language’ like Visual Basic into instructions that the computer can actually understand), the operating system (the program that turns things like your keystrokes into instructions that the computer can actually understand), and software objects (little packages of self contained program code that do things that a lot of people need). Think of creating a Visual Basic program like baking a cake: you mix ingredients together, bake them, and pull a cake out of the oven. Similarly, you put forms, modules, and controls together, compile them, and get a Visual Basic application. What is a Visual Basic Project? A project is the thing you use to create an application, such as a “traditional” program, a dynamic link library, or an ActiveX control. In Visual Basic, a project is the group of all the files that make up your program. These might include forms, modules (blocks of code not attached to a form), graphics, and ActiveX controls. The first thing to keep in mind about a project is that as you create your program, each form, module, graphic, and ActiveX control is saved as an individual file (see a Table). Common file types in a Visual Basic 6 project File Type DescriptionFRM Form BAS Module FRX Automatically generated file for every graphic in your project OCX ActiveX control CLS Class module VBP Visual Basic project Detailed information about all your program’s files is stored in the project file. The project file lists all the files your program uses. Project files have the extension VBP. You can keep track of all the files in your project with the Project Explorer. The Project Explorer provides a method to organize your project’s files and allows you to access them individually in form or code view. Every time you run Visual Basic, you will see the New Project dialog. From this window, you can simply select the type of project you want to create. It is also possible to start a new project while Visual Basic is already running. When you save your project, you actually save each individual part of your project as an individual file, and save the project file itself. When you save your project for the first time, Visual Basic automatically suggests a name for each file. This filename will be the same as the name of the form, with an appropriate extension for the type of file you are saving (refer to the Table). Thus, a module named modStart would be named modStart.bas because modules have the extension .bas. Often, your programs will require more than one form or module. You can add new files to your project in two ways: by selecting the file type (such as form or module) that you want to add from the Project menu, or by adding files from the Project Explorer. Visual Basic 6 allows you to work more than one project at a time. As you might imagine, working with multiple forms and modules that are used in different projects can get pretty confusing. To keep track of everything, you can use the Project Explorer and a project group, which is a collection of projects. Project groups can be saved as a file, just like a form, module, or project.

Virtual Pascal VP is a cross-platform 32-bit compiler, linker and debugger, which supports OS/2, Windows 95/98/ME, Windows NT/2000, some 32-bit DOS extenders and includes experimental support for Linux. Its open architecture allows this compatibility to be extended to more Intel-based operating systems, including full source-level debugging. VP is the best choice of compiler for any person or organization desiring to produce fast, compact cross-platform applications as quickly as possible. Prior knowledge of the Pascal language is an advantage, but not a requirement. If you do not have any knowledge of the Pascal language, you should buy a book on Pascal programming to get the most out of Virtual Pascal – although the Language Reference Manual does provide enough information to get started, it is not intended as a textbook on the Pascal language. VP features a very high level of compatibility with Borland Pascal 7.0 for DOS and Borland Delphi vl to 3 for Windows. The primary aim of having a high degree of compatibility is to ensure that the process of porting existing code based on the DOS and Windows environments to native 32-bit OS/2 and Windows applications is as quick and smooth as possible. Being compatible also means that there already is a host of supplementary literature on the dialect of Pascal used by VP available – buy any Borland Pascal programming book and most of the issues apply to VP as well. While being very compatible with the standards set by Borland, VP also offers a wide range of features unique to 32-bit development under OS/2 and Win32. All central parts of the system are prepared for multi-threading and the OS/2 and Win32 API functions are available and ready for use. For new and experienced programmers alike, VP offers a productive, fast and modern development environment that enables users to make the best of development time. Visual FoxPro With its local cursor engine, tight coupling between language and data, and powerful features, Visual FoxPro 8.0 is a great tool for building database solutions of all sizes. Its data-centric, object-oriented language offers developers a robust set of tools for building database applications for the desktop, client-server environments, or the Web. Developers will have the necessary tools to manage data – from organizing tables of information, running queries, and creating an integrated relational database management system (DBMS) to programming a fully-developed data management application for end users. Visual FoxPro 8.0 includes structured error handling, Cursor Adapter class for universal data access, new auto-increment support for data tables, Microsoft Windows XP Themes support, new base classes and control, new GDI + image support, new event binding for objects, full hierarchical support, new XML Web services features, updated OLE DB provider, improved development productivity, and new and improved compatibility with Microsoft Visual Studio NET. Microsoft is committed to improving Visual FoxPro and serving the needs of FoxPro developers worldwide. Visual FoxPro 8.0 directly addresses the most popular customer requests and support enhancements. Visual FoxPro COM components can be used with Internet Information Services (IIS) to build high-powered Internet database applications. This is because Visual FoxPro components can be called from Active Server Pages (ASP). Visual FoxPro is compatible with ASP but works even better in conjunction with the more modern ASP.NET. The components will retrieve and manipulate data, and will build some of the HTML returned to the user.
