Computer and Program • a Computer Is an Electronic Machine That Is Used to Store, Retrieve, and Process Data Under the Control of Set of Instructions Called Program Computer and Program • A computer is an electronic machine that is used to store, retrieve, and process data under the control of set of instructions called program. • The set of instructions to the computer hardware is called program or software. • There are many programming languages invented to write programs. For example: Python, Java, C, C++, HTML, CSS etc. @pearahmedbhuiyan What is Python? • Python is a programming language in order to write a program. • It was written by Guido van Rossum and released in 1991. • The latest version of Python is Python 3.8.3 • Python works on different platforms such as Windows, Mac, Linux, Raspberry Pi, etc. @pearahmedbhuiyan What can Python do? • Python is a programming language used to write a computer program (software). • It can be used for but not limited to the following: – Connecting to database to use data in a program. – Reading from, writing to and modifying an external file. – Handling huge data and complex mathematical computations. – Writing server side programming in web applications (software). @pearahmedbhuiyan Python Syntax compared to Other Languages • Like human language computer programming language follows certain grammar (rules) which is called Syntax. • Python has a simple syntax somewhat similar to English language with some influence from mathematics. • Python has syntax that allows programmers or developers to write programs with fewer lines than some other programming languages. • Python runs on an interpreter which means that code can be executed as soon as it is written. @pearahmedbhuiyan Python Syntax compared to Other Languages • Python uses new lines to complete a command or single statement whereas other programming languages often use semicolons. • Python relies on indentation, using whitespace, to define a block of statements. Other programming languages often use curly- brackets for this purpose. @pearahmedbhuiyan Python Installation • Many PCs and Macs will have python already installed. • To check whether python has already been installed on a Windows PC: -search in the start bar for Python or run the following command on the Command Line (cmd.exe): C:\users\your computer name>python --version • To check on Mac PC open the terminal and run: python --version • On Linux open the command line and run: python --version @pearahmedbhuiyan Integrated Development Environment (IDE) • An Integrated Development Environment (IDE) is a software that provides with good environment to develop a software. • Software developers use different tools throughout the development of a software like text editors, code libraries, compilers and test platforms. • An IDE provides with many of these tools together as a single framework , a suite or service. • An IDE simplifies software development and minimize coding mistakes and typos. • Most popular IDE tools include Eclipse, NetBeans, Microsoft’s Visual Studio etc. @pearahmedbhuiyan Integrated Development Environment (IDE) • You can write Python program in a Text Editor or in an Integrated Development Environment, such as Thonny, Pycharm, Netbeans or Eclipse. • In the class you will be writing Python programs on an online IDE named Repl.it whose web address is https://repl.it • On the web browser address bar enter the address https://repl.it press enter or search by writing repl.it and click the link of repl.it. The Repl.it will open. @pearahmedbhuiyan Repl.it @pearahmedbhuiyan Repl.it @pearahmedbhuiyan Repl.it • You can click <start coding> and choose the programming language Python to start writing a program in Python. • There is a sign in option before clicking <start coding>. You need to sign up in order to sign in. • Sign up once and sign in to keep your program files for using next time. @pearahmedbhuiyan Choose (click) Python After Signing In Repl.it @pearahmedbhuiyan After Choosing (Clicking) Python @pearahmedbhuiyan Repl.it Window • There are three rectangular areas in the repl.it window. – The middle one is to write the program. – The right one is to see the output of the program when it is run. – The left one for different tasks such as exploring files, adding files and folders, uploading files etc. There is a Run button above the rectangular areas that you click to run the program. @pearahmedbhuiyan First Python Program @pearahmedbhuiyan Print() Function • The print() function prints the specified message to the screen or other standard output device. • The message can be a string or any other object which is converted into a string before written to the screen. • The message is written inside the parenthesis of the print() function. @pearahmedbhuiyan Printing a string using double quotes @pearahmedbhuiyan Printing a string using single quotes @pearahmedbhuiyan Escape Characters • Use an escape character to insert a character that is illegal in a string. • An escape character is a backslash \ followed by the character you want to insert. • String with single or double quote can not be enclosed inside the same quote. It can be done with escape sequence character. For example: “This is \“Orchid\” flower”. Here \” is called escape sequence character. @pearahmedbhuiyan Using Escape Sequence @pearahmedbhuiyan Some Escape Characters Code Result \’ ‘ \” ” \\ \ \n Moves to new line \t Keeps space of tab @pearahmedbhuiyan In Class Exercise Read the handout and then write the answers of the following questions in your own words. 1. What is Python? 2. What can Python do? @pearahmedbhuiyan In Class Exercise Open the repl.it IDE on your browser and write the following programs: 3. Write print() commands to print five lines of text describing about Python and show the output. 4. Write a program to print the following: I like Programming. There are many programming languages such as Python, Java, C, C++ etc. The syntax of Python is simpler than other programming languages. @pearahmedbhuiyan In Class Exercise 5. Write a program to output (display) at least five lines about IDE to the screen. 6. Write a program that will print text (string) describing five advantages of Python compared to other programming languages. 7. Write a program to display the following: I like fruits specially Apple, Orange and Cherry. I am going to buy some fruits tomorrow. I am not sure which store I should go. Do you have any suggestions. @pearahmedbhuiyan In Class Exercise 8. Write a python program to print the following: I like ice cream. How do you like a “Toyota” car? Do you like ‘Python’ programming? My favorite fruits are: ‘Mango’, ‘Banana’ and ‘Pine Apple’. Student ID Name Mark 101 James 90 @pearahmedbhuiyan Homework 1.

Projects. _________________ _________________ _________________ Translated to English by: Jürgen Pohl <sept.sapins(at)verizon.net> General In real life every Linux user gets to face the Bash. At first glance that looks very boring, but there are many possibilities to give one’s shell the personal touch. Colored enhancement of the shell prompt make the shell unique as well as better legible. In my description I will refer to the Bash shell. The escape sequences may differ between terminals, for this text I am using an ANSI terminal. Configuration of the Shell Setting of shell colors happens in the personal configuration file of the bash ~/.bashrc or in the global configuration file /etc/bashrc. The appearance of the prompt is being set with the PS1 variable in bashrc. Generally, the entry should look like this: ~/.bashrc: PS1="\s-\v\$ " \s stands for the name of the shell and -\v for its version. At the end of the prompt we are placing a $. Since this gets a bit boring, the following entry - which is default in most Linux distributions - may be used: ~/.bashrc: PS1="\u@\h \w \$ " This stands for user@ current_directory $, which is the normal shell prompt most Linux users are familiar with.

  • AVR244 AVR UART As ANSI Terminal Interface
    AVR244: AVR UART as ANSI Terminal Interface Features 8-bit • Make use of standard terminal software as user interface to your application. • Enables use of a PC keyboard as input and ascii graphic to display status and control Microcontroller information. • Drivers for ANSI/VT100 Terminal Control included. • Interactive menu interface included. Application Note Introduction This application note describes some basic routines to interface the AVR to a terminal window using the UART (hardware or software). The routines use a subset of the ANSI Color Standard to position the cursor and choose text modes and colors. Rou- tines for simple menu handling are also implemented. The routines can be used to implement a human interface through an ordinary termi- nal window, using interactive menus and selections. This is particularly useful for debugging and diagnostics purposes. The routines can be used as a basic interface for implementing more complex terminal user interfaces. To better understand the code, an introduction to ‘escape sequences’ is given below. Escape Sequences The special terminal functions mentioned (e.g. text modes and colors) are selected using ANSI escape sequences. The AVR sends these sequences to the connected terminal, which in turn executes the associated commands. The escape sequences are strings of bytes starting with an escape character (ASCII code 27) followed by a left bracket ('['). The rest of the string decides the specific operation. For instance, the command '1m' selects bold text, and the full escape sequence thus becomes 'ESC[1m'. There must be no spaces between the characters, and the com- mands are case sensitive. The various operations used in this application note are described below.

  • Syllabus Instructor
    Syllabus Instructor That's me! I am Eric Reed, and you can email me at [email protected] (mailto:[email protected]) . It's easiest for me if you ask questions through the private or public message center here in the course, and only use email if you have trouble logging in. I get a huge amount of email and there's a chance that a time critical question will get lost if you email me. Why do I get so much email? I am also the STEM Center (http://foothill.edu/stemcenter) director here at Foothill. Which, by the way, is a good place to know. More about that later. I teach both math and computer science. I hold an M.S. in math from CSU East Bay and an M.S. in computer science from Georgia Tech. Feel free to ask me about either one. What you really need to know is that I am glad you are here, and my goal is your success in this course. Office Hours You can find me online on Sundays from 10am­11am at foothill.edu/stemcenter/onlinecs We will hold two office hours on campus as well: Tuesday 11AM ­ Noon Room 4412 Friday 6pm­7pm Room 4601 You may always feel free to contact me for an appointment. Oh, what about this course? CS 3C is an advanced lower division computer programming course using the Python language. The truth is, the course is more about the computer science concepts than the language. We will learn about time complexity (Big­O notation), data structures like trees and hash tables, and topics related to algorithms like sorts and minimum spanning trees To succeed in this class, you need a solid understanding of Python structure and statements, and some experience with object oriented design.

  • Delimited Escape Sequences
    Delimited escape sequences Document #: N2785 Date: 2021-07-28 Project: Programming Language C Audience: Application programmers Proposal category: New feature Reply-to: Corentin Jabot <[email protected]> Aaron Ballman <[email protected]> Abstract We propose an additional, clearly delimited syntax for octal, hexadecimal and universal character name escape sequences to clearly delimit the boundaries of the escape sequence. WG21 has shown an interest in adjusting this feature, and this proposal is intended to keep C and C++ in alignment. This feature is a pure extension to the language that should not impact existing code. Motivation universal-character-name escape sequences As their name does not indicate, universal-character-name escape sequences represent Uni- code scalar values, using either 4, or 8 hexadecimal digits, which is either 16 or 32 bits. However, the Unicode codespace is limited to 0-0x10FFFF, and all currently assigned code- points can be written with 5 or less hexadecimal digits (Supplementary Private Use Area-B non-withstanding). As such, the ~50% of codepoints that need 5 hexadecimal digits to be expressed are currently a bit awkward to write: \U0001F1F8. Octal and hexadecimal escape sequences have variable length \1, \01, \001 are all valid escape sequences. \17 is equivalent to "0x0F" while \18 is equivalent to "0x01" "8" While octal escape sequences accept 1 to 3 digits as arguments, hexadecimal sequences accept an arbitrary number of digits applying the maximal much principle. This is how the Microsoft documentation describes this problem: 1 Unlike octal escape constants, the number of hexadecimal digits in an escape sequence is unlimited.
