Document Summary
Computer has components: hardware, cpu, memory (ram as primary storage), harddrive/dvd/floppy disk (secondary storage, output : screen, printer, audio. Input: key board, mouse , touch screen: software. Ram is much faster but it requires power, once the computer is shut down, all data in. Ram is erased or gone where as the. A computer runs slow when running multiple programs because the ram is full, all the program runs in the ram. Program- step by step instruction for a computer to solve a problem. Programming - process of designing and building executable computer program for accomplishing a specific computing task. Problem solving break down problems into smaller pieces apply algorithm that solves the problem. Precise, not natural language (language we speak daily) Deterministic - same input (code) same outputs (results) C++ is more picky for the grammar and syntax. Levels of languages : machine code vs high level. Machine code binary code that can be directly run by the computer.
