  • C and C++ Preprocessor Directives #Include #Define Macros Inline
    MODULE 10 PREPROCESSOR DIRECTIVES My Training Period: hours Abilities ▪ Able to understand and use #include. ▪ Able to understand and use #define. ▪ Able to understand and use macros and inline functions. ▪ Able to understand and use the conditional compilation – #if, #endif, #ifdef, #else, #ifndef and #undef. ▪ Able to understand and use #error, #pragma, # and ## operators and #line. ▪ Able to display error messages during conditional compilation. ▪ Able to understand and use assertions. 10.1 Introduction - For C/C++ preprocessor, preprocessing occurs before a program is compiled. A complete process involved during the preprocessing, compiling and linking can be read in Module W. - Some possible actions are: ▪ Inclusion of other files in the file being compiled. ▪ Definition of symbolic constants and macros. ▪ Conditional compilation of program code or code segment. ▪ Conditional execution of preprocessor directives. - All preprocessor directives begin with #, and only white space characters may appear before a preprocessor directive on a line. 10.2 The #include Preprocessor Directive - The #include directive causes copy of a specified file to be included in place of the directive. The two forms of the #include directive are: //searches for header files and replaces this directive //with the entire contents of the header file here #include <header_file> - Or #include "header_file" e.g. #include <stdio.h> #include "myheader.h" - If the file name is enclosed in double quotes, the preprocessor searches in the same directory (local) as the source file being compiled for the file to be included, if not found then looks in the subdirectory associated with standard header files as specified using angle bracket. - This method is normally used to include user or programmer-defined header files.

  • Guide to C Files and H Files by Jacob “Bob” Egner Introduction This
    Guide To C Files And H Files by Jacob “Bob” Egner Introduction This document explains the philosophy of C and H files, and what to put in each file type. At times, I'll stray from the main topic to talk about C compilation in general. The more you understand about C compilation, the less trouble you'll have getting your programs to compile and work. Along with this document, you should also have the files heap.h, heap.c, and heap_test.c. This project can be found in the starter files section of the web site. heap.c and heap.h make up a “module” that implements a memory heap. heap_test.c uses the heap module. I wrote these files to be examples for this document, bring dynamic memory management to the 9S12, and mostly for fun. Please glance over these files before proceeding. The project can be found in the “Starter files” section of the course web site. Why Do We Have H Files? One key thing in understanding C and H files is that declaration and definition are two different things. A declaration tells the compiler that something exists and what kind of beast it is. A definition tells the compiler what it is. A function declaration tells the name of a function, what arguments it takes and what it returns. A function definition also has all that and the code that implements the function. A variable declaration tells the type of a variable. A variable definition tells the type and actually allocates space for the variable.

  • A Comparison of C++, C#, Java, and PHP in the Context of E-Learning
    A Comparison of C++, C#, Java, and PHP in the context of e-learning MIKAEL OLSSON KTH Information and Communication Technology Master of Science Thesis Stockholm, Sweden 2009 TRITA-ICT-EX-2009:8 A Comparison of C++, C#, Java, and PHP in the context of e‐learning Mikael Olsson April 30, 2009 Master’s Thesis in Computer Science Royal Institute of Technology Examiner: Prof. Gerald Q. Maguire Jr. ‐ i ‐ Abstract The first part of this master thesis presents an effective method for producing video tutorials. This method was used during this thesis project to create tutorials on the e- learning site PVT (http://www.programmingvideotutorials.com). Part one also discloses how the production method was developed and how tutorials produced using this method compare to professional video tutorials. Finally, it evaluates the result of this thesis work and the efficiency of the production method. The second part of this thesis compares the syntactical similarities and differences between four of the languages taught via video tutorials for PVT. These languages are: C++, C#, Java, and PHP. The purpose of this comparison is to provide a bridge for programmers knowing one of these languages to rapidly learn one or more of the other languages. The reason why this would be necessary is because there is no single language suited for every area of software development. Knowing a multitude of languages gives a programmer a wider range of job opportunities and more choices in how to solve their problems. Part two of the thesis also includes a comparison of Java and C# in the context of a video tutorial series that shows how to build a basic text editor.

  • Essential Pascal
    Marco Cantù Essential Pascal 2nd Edition, March 2003 (version 2.01) APOLLO, THE GOD WORSHIPED AT DELPHI, IN AN ITALIAN 17TH CENTURY FRESCO. Essential Pascal [Copyright 1995-2003 Marco Cantù] www.marcocantu.com/epascal 1 Introduction he first few editions of Mastering Delphi, the best selling Delphi book I've written, provided an introduction to the Pascal language in Delphi. Due to space constraints and T because many Delphi programmers look for more advanced information, in the latest edition this material was completely omitted. To overcome the absence of this information, I've started putting together this ebook, titled Essential Pascal. This is a detailed book on Pascal, which for the moment will be available for free on my web site (I really don't know what will happen next, I might even find a publisher). This is a work in progress, and any feedback is welcome. The first complete version of this book, dated July '99, has been published on the Delphi 5 Companion CD. Note to the Second Edition After a few years (in the early 2003), the book had a complete revision, trying to refocus it even more on the core features of the Pascal language. Alongside, the book covers the language from the perspective of the Delphi for Windows programmer, but also of the Kylix and Delphi for .NET programmer. Differences among these different versions of the language will be mentioned. This change in focus (not only Delphi with the VCL library) was another reason to change most of the examples from visual ones to console based ones – something I plan doing but that I still haven't done.
