Memory temporarily stores data and programs during use and permanently stores them when not in use, including RAM, ROM, hard disks, and floppy disks. The processor, made up of the ALU and control unit, is the brain that performs computations and controls the system.
This document discusses computer memory and storage devices. It defines memory as the space in a computer system for temporarily storing data and information. There are different units for measuring memory like bits, bytes, kilobytes, megabytes, etc. Memory is classified into primary and secondary memory. Primary memory directly connects to the CPU and includes RAM and ROM. RAM is used for temporary data storage while ROM stores permanent data like the BIOS. Common secondary storage devices include magnetic tapes, disks, and optical disks like CDs and DVDs which can store large amounts of data even when the computer is turned off.
The document summarizes different types of system software, including system control programs like operating systems (OS), system support programs like utility programs, and system development programs like language translators. It describes the main functions of each type of system software - OS manage computer resources and perform functions like memory, processor, and file management, utility programs provide common services like sorting and copying data, and language translators convert programs between languages like assemblers converting to machine code.
The document discusses operating systems, including their definition, structure, features, types, advantages and disadvantages. It defines an operating system as software that manages computer hardware resources. Operating systems provide a user interface, coordinate tasks, establish internet connections and more. They have a kernel at the core and a user interface. Features include being graphical, supporting multiple users, tasks, processors and threads. Types include standalone, server and embedded operating systems. The best operating systems of 2013 are discussed as Ubuntu, Windows 8, Macintosh, Windows 7 and Linux Mint.

The main difference between the two is that system software is general purpose, always running, and essential, while application software serves specific purposes and only runs when needed.
Computer software is a set of machine-readable instructions that directs a computer processor to perform tasks. Software requires hardware to function and is intangible, stored in computer memory. It is created through programming languages and compiled into machine-readable code. There are two main types: system software that operates hardware and provides functionality, and application software for specific tasks like word processing. Software is licensed through proprietary licenses or open source licenses and comes in various models like per user or concurrent user.
Computer software can be categorized as system software or application software. System software includes operating systems and utilities, and provides a platform for application software to execute tasks for users. There are different types of application software such as word processors, spreadsheets, databases, and graphics software that allow users to create and edit documents, numeric data, stored information, and visual content respectively. Software can also be distinguished by its licensing - proprietary software has exclusive rights owned by its creator while open-source software is freely available and modifiable.
Jawaid Ahmed is an instructor of computer science at Sukkur IBA University Khairpur Campus. A computer receives input, stores or processes it according to instructions, and provides output. Software, which are computer instructions that tell the computer how to work, enables computers to perform specific tasks. There are two types of software: system software used to run computers like operating systems, device drivers, and utility software; and application software designed to perform specific tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, and databases.
This document discusses different types of software. It defines software as programs that enable users to perform tasks and operate computers. There are two main types of software: system software and application software. System software includes operating systems, device drivers, firmware and utilities, which help manage computer hardware and resources. Application software includes programs for specific tasks like word processing, databases, and multimedia. Common examples of each type are provided.
System software refers to programs that manage computer hardware and allow other software to run. It includes operating systems, drivers, and programs that enable interaction between hardware and other software. Application software runs via system software and is designed for specific tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, and databases. There are general purpose applications for broad uses and special purpose applications for narrow functions in industries. Software can also be open source, with accessible code, or proprietary, with restrictions on use and modification.
System software and application software are the two main types of software. System software includes operating systems, utility programs, and device drivers that manage computer hardware and provide services to other programs. Application software performs specific tasks for users like word processing, web browsing, or games. Software can be acquired by writing it in-house, hiring external consultants, purchasing off-the-shelf packages, or leasing packages with annual fees for use and automatic upgrades. Buying an existing package is generally cheaper than custom software but lacks flexibility, while writing software internally keeps information confidential but has higher development costs.
This document discusses strings in C programming. It defines strings as arrays of characters that end with a null terminator (\0). It explains how to initialize and print strings. Common string functions like strlen(), strcpy(), strcat(), and strcmp() are described. The document contrasts strings and character pointers, noting strings cannot be reassigned while pointers can. Finally, it lists and briefly explains other standard string library functions.
Recursion is a process where a function calls itself. In C, functions can call themselves recursively. As an example, calculating the factorial of a number recursively is described. Factorial of a number n is defined as n * (n-1) * (n-2) ... * 1. The recursive factorial function calls itself with decreasing arguments until it reaches 1, at which point it returns 1. It then multiplies the returned values together up the call stack to calculate the final factorial value. Visualizing the recursive calls is difficult, but it is drawn out step-by-step in the document as an example for calculating 3!. Though recursion may seem complex, it can often be the most direct way to code certain algorithms
Pointers allow a variable to hold the memory address of another variable. A pointer variable contains the address of the variable it points to. Pointers can be used to pass arguments to functions by reference instead of by value, allowing the function to modify the original variables. Pointers also allow a function to return multiple values by having the function modify pointer variables passed to it by the calling function. Understanding pointers involves grasping that a pointer variable contains an address rather than a value, and that pointers enable indirect access to the value at a specific memory address.
Functions allow programmers to structure code into modular, reusable units. A function contains a block of code that is executed when the function is called. Functions take parameters as input and can return a value. The example function "addition" takes two integer parameters, adds them together, and returns the result. The main function calls addition, passing it the values 5 and 3, and stores the returned value 8 in the variable z. Functions help avoid duplicating code and make programs easier to design, understand, and maintain.
This document discusses different types of loops in programming - for loops, while loops, and do-while loops. It provides examples of each loop type and explains their syntax and usage. The key points are:
- For loops allow specifying an initialization, condition, and increment in one line and are best for known iterations.
- While loops repeat until a condition is false and are useful when the number of iterations is unknown.
- Do-while loops are similar but check the condition after running the block once, guaranteeing it runs at least once.
- Loops can be nested, with inner loops running fully each time the outer loop increments.
[ITP - Lecture 10] Switch Statement, Break and Continue Statement in C/C++Muhammad Hammad Waseem
The document discusses the switch, break, and continue statements in C programming. It explains that a switch statement allows a program to evaluate different code blocks based on the result of an expression. It will execute the matched case and any subsequent cases until reaching a break statement. The break statement exits the current block like a loop. The continue statement skips the rest of the current block and continues to the next iteration of the loop.
The conditional operators ? and : are sometimes called ternary operators since they take three arguments. They provide a shorthand way to write if-then-else statements in one line. The general form is expression 1 ? expression 2 : expression 3, which will return expression 2 if expression 1 is true, and expression 3 if expression 1 is false. Examples show how conditional operators can be used to assign values based on boolean expressions or character ranges. Nested conditional operators and limitations where only one statement is allowed after ? or : are also discussed.
The document discusses different types of if statements in C programming. It describes the basic if statement syntax which executes a statement if a condition is true. It also covers the if-else statement which executes one block of code if the condition is true and another block if false. Else-if clauses allow checking multiple conditions. Logical operators like &&, || and ! can be used to combine conditions. Nested if statements allow if-else blocks within other if/else blocks. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating discounts, employee bonuses, student grades and more using if and if-else statements.
Comments help explain a program's purpose and operation to readers. There are two styles of comments in C/C++: single-line comments that begin with // and multi-line comments enclosed in /* and */. Comments should provide context around code at a high level and be used liberally to aid future understanding of the program.
[ITP - Lecture 06] Operators, Arithmetic Expression and Order of PrecedenceMuhammad Hammad Waseem
The document discusses arithmetic operators and order of precedence in C++. It defines the basic arithmetic operators (+, -, *, /, %) and their usage. It also explains the rules for integer and float conversions during arithmetic operations. Finally, it describes the order of precedence followed in C++, with multiplication and division having higher precedence than addition and subtraction, and operations in parentheses being evaluated first. Examples are provided to demonstrate how expressions are evaluated based on these rules.
There are three primary data types in C - char, int, and float. Programmers can derive many other data types from these. For integers, C offers short and long types which occupy 2 and 4 bytes respectively and have different value ranges. Integers can also be declared as signed or unsigned, changing whether negative values are allowed. Char values can also be signed or unsigned, affecting their range from -128 to 127 or 0 to 255. Floating point types include float, double, and long double with increasing range and memory usage.
C++ is an object-oriented programming language that is an enhanced version of C. A C++ program consists of three main parts: preprocessor directives, the main function, and C++ statements. Preprocessor directives provide instructions to the compiler, such as including header files. The main function indicates the beginning of the program and contains the main body of code. C++ statements are the individual lines of code written within the main function and end with semicolons.
[ITP - Lecture 02] Steps to Create Program & Approaches of ProgrammingMuhammad Hammad Waseem
1. To write a C program, the programmer opens an edit window in an IDE to write code. They must then save the file, which the editor assigns a default name by default or the programmer can specify a name and location.
2. The programmer then compiles the code, which converts it into an object file. If there are no errors, it is successfully compiled. Otherwise, errors are reported.
3. The object file is then linked with library files by a linker, which produces an executable file.
4. Finally, the programmer executes the program by running the executable file, which loads it into memory.
[ITP - Lecture 01] Introduction to Programming & Different Programming LanguagesMuhammad Hammad Waseem
This document provides an introduction to programming languages. It defines programming as a sequence of steps to solve a problem and explains why learning to program is important for developing problem solving skills. It then describes the main types of programming languages - low-level languages like machine language and assembly language that are close to hardware, and high-level languages that are more abstract and English-like. It also discusses the concepts of source code, object code, and language translators like assemblers, interpreters, and compilers that convert source code into executable object code.
Inheritance allows one class to inherit properties from another parent class. This creates a hierarchy where child classes inherit behavior from the parent class and can add or override behavior. There are three types of access specifiers that determine whether inherited members are public, private, or protected. Virtual functions allow runtime polymorphism by overriding functions in derived classes. Pure virtual functions define an interface that derived classes must implement.
Static member functions can be accessed without creating an object of the class. They are used to access static data members, which are shared by all objects of a class rather than each object having its own copy. The examples show declaring a static data member n and static member function show() that prints n. show() is called through the class name without an object. Each object creation in the constructor increments n, and show() prints the updated count.
The document discusses static data members in C++. It explains that a static data member is shared among all objects of a class and is defined with the static keyword. Only one variable is created in memory even if there are multiple objects. It is visible only within the class and persists for the lifetime of the program. The document provides examples of declaring and defining static data members separately, and using them to assign unique roll numbers to student objects.
*Metamorphosis* is a biological process where an animal undergoes a dramatic transformation from a juvenile or larval stage to a adult stage, often involving significant changes in form and structure. This process is commonly seen in insects, amphibians, and some other animals.
