Evolution of Programming Languages
Explore the evolution of programming languages from machine code to high-level procedural and object-oriented languages like C++ and Java. Learn about the transition from numeric operations to encapsulating data and functions into objects, making programming more readable and efficient.

Programming Program A list of instructions for a computer to execute

Evolution of Programming Languages Assembly languages Human readable shorthand for operations .file .section test.c .rodata .LC0: .string .text hello\n .globl main .type main: push1 movl sub1 main, @function %ebp %esp, %ebp %8, %esp
Evolution of Programming Languages High-level procedural languages More readable Can divide the work into actions, represented by procedures and functions E.g., C, Pascal main() { int x = 1; int y = 1; int r = 1; DrawCircle(x, y, r); }
butcomputers only understand machine languages A compiler (e.g., g++) translates programs written in high-level languages to machine code instructions An interpreter translates and executes programs on the fly High level languages Compiler / interpreter Machine languages
Evolution of Programming Languages Object-oriented languages Also high-level Encapsulate or group data and procedures into objects E.g., C++, Java class Circle { public: private: }; SetCenter(int x, int y); SetRadius(int r); Draw(); int x, y, radius;
Thus, C is a high-level procedural programming language C++ is an object-oriented language based on C
Object Encapsulation of data and functions that act upon that data An object consists of Name (variable name) Attributes (member data) that describe what the object is Behavior (member functions) that describes what the object does
Class A blueprint for objects A user-defined type, consists of Declaration (typically in .h files) Definition (typically in .cc files) An object is an instance of a class Can create many objects from the same class Can build many houses from the same blueprint
Whats special about objects? In C, a struct consists of a name (variable) and attributes (data inside the struct) Data and functions are separate In C++ Can build objects that encapsulate data and functions Can use classes as reusable program building blocks
