Development of programming languages

Development of Programming Languages
• 2000  C# . . • 2001  Visual Basic .NET . . . . • 2009  Go by Google Inc. (Similar to C)

A brief history of C
• Developed Dennis M. Ritchie at AT&T Bell Labs between 1969–1973 for UNIX • Descendant of Ken Thompson’s language “B” • First published specification standard:
– Ritchie and Brian Kernighan “The C Programming Language” in 1978
– C-dialect now known as K&R-Style

• Ease of portability ⇒ language began to spread • However language standard (K&R) insufficiently precise • A slightly modified version of K&R was standardised by ANSI 1989
– C-dialect now known as ANSI-C

• The latest revision of the Standard is C99 (ISO) • ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG14 is the international standardization working group for the programming language C.

Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson

C and C++
• C++ is descended from C
– Written by Bjarne Stroustrup during 1983-1985 – Originally called “C with Classes”

    Structured Query Language (SQL) is a standard database computer language used for querying, modifying and managing data in Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS). SQL was developed in the 1970's by IBM to initially manipulate and retrieve data in IBM System R. The SQL language was standardized in 1986 by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI); however, later releases were released as International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards.…

    The Last Full Measure: The Civil War

    The Last Full Measure is a Civil War historical fiction novel, and it is the third in a trilogy of books about the Civil War. The Last Full Measure details the events following the Battle of Gettysburg, and dates all the way back to the end of the Civil War. It even details Robert E. Lee’s death, Ulysses S. Grant’s physical decline, and Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain’s revisit of the Battle at Little Round Top before the 50th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg. The Last Full Measure is divided into three parts, which has chapters about either Lee, Grant, or Chamberlain. Each chapter also dates the events that occurred.…

    The Ideal HPC Programming Language

    “This article describes programmability studies undertaken by Sun Microsystems in its HPCS participation.” FORTRAN has been the preferred language among the High Performance Computing (HPC) community, it is less likely that every programmer would have ended up preferring FORTRAN and more likely that the problems with the original source codes have more to do with reasons than the limitations of existing programming languages. The need for HPC benchmarks in the new languages could reduce source-code volume substantially, but rewriting these benchmarks even in FORTRAN could achieve similar source-code reductions and corresponding improvements in expressivity. This article mentions that the programmer rewrote many of HPC benchmarks and applications using modern FORTRAN taking into account the human costs of software development: programmability and associated characteristics such as readability, verifiability, and maintainability. “These are important considerations; although copy-and-paste is a fast way of writing lines of code, it degrades readability and increases maintenance costs.”…

    The Art and Science of Java

    1. Babbage’s Analytical Engine introduced the concept of programming to computing. 2. Augusta Ada Byron is generally recognized as the first programmer. The U.S. Department of Defense named the Ada programming language in her honor. 3. The heart of von Neumann architecture is the stored-programming concept, in which both data and programming instructions are stored in the same memory system. 4. Hardware is tangible and comprises the physical parts of a computer; software is intangible and consists of the programs the computer executes. 5. The abstract concept that forms the core of computer science is problem-solving. 6. For a solution technique to be an algorithm, it must be • Clearly and unambiguously defined • Effective, in the sense that its steps are executable • Finite, in the sense that it terminates after a bounded number of steps 7. Algorithmic design refers to the process of designing a solution strategy to fit a particular problem; coding refers to the generally simpler task of representing that solution strategy in a programming language. 8. A higher-level language is a programming language that is designed to be independent of the particular characteristics that differentiate computers and to work instead with general algorithmic concepts that can be implemented on any computer system. The higher-level language used in this text is called Java. 9. Each type of computer has its own machine language, which is different from that used in other computers. The compiler acts as a translator from the higher-level language into the machine language used for a specific machine. 10. A source file contains the actual text of a program and is designed to be edited by people. An object file is created by the compiler and contains a machine-language representation of the program. Most programmers never work directly with object files. 11. A syntax error is a violation of the grammatical rules of the programming…
