Machine languages
Assembly languages
High-level languages
C evolved from two other programming languages,
BCPL and B by Ritchie and Kernighan at Bell Lab
(1972)
C++ evolved from C by Stroustrup at Bell lab (1980)
ANSI C
„
„
Established worldwide standards for C at 1990 (ANSI/ISO
9899). The main benefit is portability.
C++ make C better by
„
Providing capabilities for object-oriented programming

Session1
Objects are reusable software components that model things in
the real world
Object-oriented programs are easy to understand, correct and
modify

„
Teaching structured programming
Disciplined approach to writing programs
Clear, easy to test and debug, and easy to modify
Pascal programming language by Nicklaus Wirth in
1971
ADA by USA Department of Defense (1980)
„
Multitasking
„
Manipulating large amounts of data
Many activities to run in parallel
FORTRAN
„
Scientific and engineering applications

The Key Software Trend: Object
Technology
„
Structured programming
COBOL
„
„
„
Create web pages with dynamic and interactive content
Develop large-scale enterprise applications
Enhance the functionality of web servers
Provide applications for consumer devices (such as cell
phones, pagers and personal digital assistants)
Pascal

Structured Programming
„
„
„
„
„
Session1
Reusable software components that model real world items
Meaningful software units
Date objects, time objects, paycheck objects, invoice
objects, audio objects, video objects, file objects, record
objects, etc.
Any noun can be represented as an object
More understandable, better organized and easier to
maintain than procedural programming
Help modularity
