Machine Language (object code)•series of 1s and 0s that encode certain instructions – machine dependent2. Assembly Language•The low-level instructions listed in human readable form (must be translated to machine language) – very limited set of instructions3. High-level Language•Human readable code with large set of instructions, operators (+,-,*,=,etc), and logical statements (if this then that)•Depends on “compilers” to translate to machine language•Compilers require that the language be written in a formal way – syntaxC++C++ is one such high-level languageDerived from ANSI C (American National Standards Institute)Like ANSI C, not machine specificProvides:more operators/commandsobject-oriented capabilityObjects – reusable code parts that perform well-defined tasksC++ ContinuedClass and Functionspieces of programsFor instance, and object is an “instance” of a class“Building Block” approachC++ Standard LibraryThe Children of C++Java, Visual C++, C#RemindersPurchase the bookCOSC 101 optionMake sure you have your loginDARD B010 (back of the lab)Geany : (version 0.14 in
