Programming

Programming is solving a problem using a computer.

A program is a set of specific instructions for a computer to follow.

It is a complex process and each program takes on a life of it’s own called SDLC.

SDLC – Software Development Life Cycle

CIS162AD 4

SDLC

Software Development Life Cycle(Program Development Cycle)

There are various methodologies to develop programs, but most follow the same process.

The actual name for each step in the process may vary by vendor.

CIS162AD 5

SDLC – 3 Phases, 8 Steps

Problem Solving Phase– Problem Definition– Algorithm Design

Implementation Phase– Build, Test, Install, and Train

Support Phase– Maintenance– Obsolete

CIS162AD 6

SDLC - Problem Solving Phase

1. Problem definition (Analysis of the task)Users need a form to do a Sales Order Calculation (qty, price, tax, freight)

2. Algorithm Design (Solution)

Design the interface.Desk check with common and extreme data.Programming language not necessarily selected yet.

CIS162AD 7

Problem Solving Diagrams Analysis Diagrams / Tools

– Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

– Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERD)

– Functional Descriptions

– Use Case Diagrams (Object-Oriented)

Design Diagrams / Tools

– Input Output Charts (IPO)

– Flowcharts

– Structure Charts

– Class Diagrams (Object-Oriented)

Diagrams are independent of programming languages.

We will see some examples of design diagrams throughout the course.

CIS162AD 8

SDLC – Implementation Phase

3. Implement or Build (Code the program).

4. Test the program using test data.Actual output must match expected results.

5. Deploy or installMay require data conversion or hardware upgrades.

6. Training & User Documentation.

CIS162AD 9

SDLC – Support Phase

7. Maintenance – change program as needednew tax rates, new freight carrier, zip+4, Y2K, new area code.

8. Obsolete – program is discarded due to requiring too much effort to corrector new technology (DOS -> Windows).

Programming Categories Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)

– Emphasis is on identifying objects in a problem (student, faculty, etc).– Objects are then categorized into classes (person). – Classes are used in programs to create and manipulate objects.

objCustomer = new clsCustomer; Procedural Programming

– Emphasis is on identifying the procedures or steps to solve a problem and then creating a program as the solution.

Event Programming– Usually related to GUI programming.– Program reacts to events, such as a user clicking on a mouse.

All of these techniques will be used throughout our C#.NET assignments.

CIS162AD 12

History of C# In 2000 Microsoft released the .Net programming

platform. Microsoft included it’s new language C#

(pronounced C-Sharp). Roots are in C, C++, and Java. .Net includes a rich library of pre-built components

that are shared among the .Net languages such as Visual Basic (VB).

If you know VB, you should recognize some of the classes and methods that are used in C#.

CIS162AD 13

IDE Software

C# programs are created in a GUI IDE .– GUI : Graphical User Interface– IDE : Integrated Development Environment

C# IDE provides the tools and capabilities to create very powerful and flexible programs.

Can create Forms, Classes, Programs, Database connections, and many other things.

The IDE includes a smart editor, compiler, linker, and debugger.

CIS162AD 14

Key Elements of a C# Program Design the forms (user interface). Design the methods that will be executed. Create forms using various control objects. Write methods that react to object events. Each statement must end with a semi-colon. Most blocks of code required an open and close

brace { }.

private void calculateButton_Click(…){

int intQuanity;decimal decPrice;

}

CIS162AD 15

C# to Machine Language

C# programs are typed in as text. Programs have a .cs extension.

– CS1Form.cs Form Resources have a .resx extension.

– CS1Form.resx Must be converted to machine language. How? By compiling…

CIS162AD 16

Compiler and Linker Compiler

– Verifies the program is coded with commands it recognizes and that the proper syntax was used.

– Creates an object file (machine language).

Linker– Combines the program’s object file with object code of

standard routines from the library.

– Creates the final executable file (.exe).

– In the .Net Framework, Common Language Runtime (CLR) is the linker.

CIS162AD 18

Syntax

There are several languages to choose from. Each language has a set of commands that can

be used. Each language has a set of syntax rules that

must be followed.– Syntax determines many things - like how

commands are entered and how each command should end (period, semi-colon, etc).

CIS162AD 19

Three Categories of Errors

Syntax Errors and Warnings Logic Errors Run-time Errors

– Actually are logic errors.

CIS162AD 20

Syntax Errors & Warnings

Detected by compiler. Violation of grammar rules. Mistyped command. Compiler tells you what the error is

or what it thinks it is. Compiler tries to tell you where the error occurred. Warnings

– Passes syntax rules but not normally coded this way.

– Programmer should check for possible logic error.

CIS162AD 21

Logic Errors

Detected and corrected by programmer. Program designed or written incorrectly. Output generated does NOT match expected

output. Simple to very complex.

– Using * (multiply) instead of + (add) Test, test, test and verify results. This is where programmers earn their money.

CIS162AD 22

Run-time Errors Usually discovered by user, but corrected by

programmer. Program terminates unexpectedly.

– Error: access violation … Usually based on a logic error.

– Divide by zero Users do something programmer didn’t expect them

to do.– Processing unexpected input, such as

letters instead of numbers. Users need to document what they were doing

when the error occurred to help programmer.
