Installation on UNIX/Linux

Installation on UNIX/Linux

 If you are using Linux or UNIX, then check whether GCC is installed on your system by entering the

 following command from the command line: $ gcc -v If you have GNU compiler installed on your 

machine, then it should print a message as follows: Using built-in specs. Target: i386-redhat-linux 

 Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr ....... Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 

(Red Hat 4.1.2-46) If GCC is not installed, then you will have to install it yourself using the detailed 

instructions available at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/. This tutorial has been written based on Linux and 

all the given examples have been compiled on the Cent OS flavor of the Linux system.

The C Compiler

The C Compiler

The source code written in source file is the human readable source for your program. It needs to be "compiled" into machine language so that your CPU can actually execute the program as per the instructions given. The compiler compiles the source codes into final executable programs. The most frequently used and free available compiler is the GNU C/C++ compiler, otherwise you can have compilers either from HP or Solaris if you have the respective operating systems. The following section explains how to install GNU C/C++ compiler on various OS. m We keep mentioning C/C++ together because GNU gcc compiler works for both C and C++ programming languages.

Quick Start with C

programming language is perhaps the most popular programming language. C was created in 1972 by

Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Labs in USA as a part of UNIX operating system. C was also used to

develop some parts of this operating system. From that time C programming language has been the

de facto programming language when fast programs are needed or the software needs to interact

with the hardware in some way. Most of the operating systems like Linux, Windows™, and Mac™ are either

developed in C language or use this language for most parts of the operating system and the tools coming

with it.

This course is a quick course on C Programming language. In our first lesson we will first write our first

C program. We will then learn about printing to screen, variables and functions. We assume that you are

familiar with at least one of the popular operating system

About C programs :

C programs with output illustrate various programming concepts - operators, loops, functions, single and double dimensional arrays, performing operations on strings, files, pointers, etc. Download executable files and execute them without compiling the source file. Code::Blocks IDE is used to write programs, most of these will work with GCC and Dev C++ compilers. The first program prints "Hello World" on output device.

C programming tutorial - Why Use C?

Why Use C?

C was initially used for system development work, particularly the programs that make-up the operating system. C was adopted as a system development language because it produces code that runs nearly as fast as the code written in assembly language. Some examples of the use of C might be: 

C programming tutorial - Facts about C

Facts about C :

C was invented to write an operating system called UNIX. 

 C is a successor of B language which was introduced around the early 1970s.

 The language was formalized in 1988 by the American National Standard Institute (ANSI).

 The UNIX OS was totally written in C.

 Today C is the most widely used and popular System Programming Language.

 Most of the state-of-the-art software have been implemented using C.

 Today's most popular Linux OS and RDBMS MySQL have been written in C.

C programming tutorial - C programming language

C programming language :
C is a general-purpose, high-level language that was originally developed by Dennis M. Ritchie to develop the UNIX operating system at Bell Labs.

C was originally first implemented on the DEC PDP-11 computer in 1972. In 1978, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie produced the first publicly available description of C, now known as the K&R standard. The UNIX operating system, the C compiler, and essentially all UNIX application programs have been written in C. C has now become a widely used professional language for various reasons:  Easy to learn
 Structured language
 It produces efficient programs
 It can handle low-level activities
 It can be compiled on a variety of computer platforms 

C programming tutorial

About The Tutorial :

C is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis M. Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories to develop the UNIX operating system. C is the most widely used computer language. It keeps fluctuating at number one scale of popularity along with Java programming language, which is also equally popular and most widely used among modern software programmers. 

Class vs. Object Class....

Class vs. Object Class..

• A description of the common properties of a set of objects.
 • A concept.
 • A class is a part of a program.
 • Example 1: Person
 • Example 2: Album Object
 • A representation of the properties of a single instance.
 • A phenomenon.
 • An object is part of data and a program execution.
 • Example 1: Bill Clinton, Bono, Viggo Jensen.
 • Example 2: A Hard Day's Night, Joshua Tree, Rickie Lee Jones

Encapsulation and Information Hiding, cont.
• What the "outside world" cannot see it cannot depend on!
 • The object is a "fire-wall" between the object and the "outside world".
 • The hidden data and methods can be changed without affecting the "outside world". Hidden data and methods Client interface An object Visible data and methods

Learning Object Oriented Programming

Encapsulation and Information Hiding 
• Data can be encapsulated such that it is invisible to the "outside world".
• Data can only be accessed via methods.

Learning Object Oriented Programming

Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming 
• Objects and classes
• Abstract Data Types (ADT)
• Encapsulation and information hiding
• Aggregation
• Inheritance and polymorphism

Pure Object-Oriented Languages Five rules [Source: Alan Kay]: 
• Everything in an object.
• A program is a set of objects telling each other what to do by sending messages.
• Each object has its own memory (made up by other objects).
• Every object has a type.
• All objects of a specific type can receive the same messages.
 Java breaks some of these rules in the name of efficiency.

The Object Concept 
• An object is an encapsulation of data.
• An object has  identity (a unique reference),  state, also called characteristics  behavior
• An object is an instance of an abstract data type.
• An abstract data type is implemented via a class

Learning Basic Electronics

Getting started with basic electronics is easier than you might think. This Instruct able will hopefully demystify the basics of electronics so that anyone with an interest in construction circuits can punch the ground running. This is a quick overview into practical electronics and it is not my goal to research extremely into the science of electrical engineering. If you are concerned in learning more about the science of basic electronics, Wikipedia is a high-quality place to create your search.

By the end of this Instruct able, anyone with an interest to learn basic electronics should be able to read a schematic and construct a circuit using standard electronic mechanism.

Introduction C++ Programming Language

C++ ranks 4th in popularity according to 2016 IEEE spectrum Top Programming Language ranking. Learning C++ is a intelligent asset for all programmers.

This guide answers all your questions connected to C++ on what is it, when is it used, why is it used and how to find yourself started with it.

“C++ is a statically-typed, free-form, (usually) compiled, multi-paradigm, transitional-level general-principle middle-level programming language.”

In simple terms, C++ is a sophisticated, capable and a general-purpose programming language based on C. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979.

a lot of of today’s operating systems, system drivers, browsers and games employ C++ as their core language. This makes C++ one of the most popular languages today.

Since it is an enhanced/extended version of C programming language, C and C++ are repeatedly denoted together as C/C++.
