What are the main Programming Domains
开始学习
Scientific applications, Business applications, Artificial intelligence, Systems programming, Web Software
What are the main characteristics of Scientific applications
开始学习
Large numbers of floating point computations; use of arrays
Give an example scientific domain language
开始学习
Fortran (Formula Translating System, IBM)
What are the main characteristics of Business applications?
开始学习
Produce reports, use decimal numbers and characters
Give an example of a Business applications language.
开始学习
COBOL (COmmon Business-Oriented Language)
What are the main characteristics of Artificial intelligence domain languages?
开始学习
Symbols rather than numbers manipulated; use of linked lists
give an example of an artificial intelligence language
开始学习
LISP (LISt Processing)
What are the main characteristics of Systems programming languages
开始学习
Need efficiency because of continuous use
Give an example of a Systems programming language
开始学习
Give an example of a Systems programming 用英语
C
What are the main characteristics of Web Software
开始学习
Eclectic collection of languages: markup (e.g., HTML), scripting (e.g., PHP), general-purpose (e.g., Java)
What are the main Language Categories by Uses?
开始学习
Machine languages, Assembly languages, High-level languages, System programming languages, Scripting languages, Domain-specific languages
Describe Machine languages
开始学习
[1] hardware implemented languages. [2] The set of the instructions of a processor. [3] Machine code is usually written in hexdecimal numbers.
Describe Assembly languages
开始学习
[1] machine codes are wrapped with alphanumeric symbols so that the instructions are more readable. [2] They also have labeled storage locations, jump targets and subroutine starting addresses.
Describe High-level languages
开始学习
[1] Machine-independent, similar to natural language.[2] Are usually characterised with variables, types, subroutines, functions, constants[3] complex expressions[4] control structures,(conditionals, switches, loops)[5] composite types (arrays, structs)
What does machine independant mean?
开始学习
independent of the machine instructions of any particular processors)
Describe System programming languages
开始学习
[1] deal with: memory and process management, I/O operations, device drivers, operating systems.
Describe Scripting languages
开始学习
[1] used to write programs in system administration [2] analyse / transform large amounts of regular text info [3] act as“glue”between different apps [4] make simple GUI to control an existing app [5] interpreted not compiled [6] Good string processing
Describe Domain-specific languages
开始学习
unlike general purpose languages, they are used in highly special-purpose areas only, e.g., PostScript - a language for creating vector graphics for the electronic publishing (Adobe).
What are the major Categories by Paradigms
开始学习
Procedural, Functional, Logic
Describe Procedural Paradigm
开始学习
[1] A program is built from one or more procedures (subroutines or functions) [2] Central features are variables, assignment statements, and iteration [3] Include languages that support object-oriented programming [4] Include scripting languages
Give some examples of Procedural languages
开始学习
C, Java, Perl, JavaScript, Visual BASIC. NET, C++,...
Describe Functional Paradigm
开始学习
Main means of making computations is by applying functions to given parameters
Give examples of some Functional languages
开始学习
Haskell, LISP, Scheme, ML (MetaLanguage), F#, etc
Describe Logic paradigms
开始学习
Rule-based (rules are specified in no particular order)
give an example of logic language
开始学习
Prolog
What are the categories when organiseng languages by How Tasks are Specified
开始学习
Imperative languages or Declarative languages
Describe imperative languages
开始学习
[1] computing tasks are defined as sequences of commands (statements) for the computer to perform. [2] a program in such language tells computer what to do step-by-step (to make the computer change from one state to the next).
Give example of Imperative langauage
开始学习
procedural languages
Describe Declarative languages
开始学习
[1] programs describe their desired results without explicitly listing commands or steps that must be performed.
give examples of declarative programming languages
开始学习
functional and logical programming languages belong to this category.
