The final part of the chapter asks students towrite a program using both the command prompt and the VisualStudio IDE.Objectives•Describe theprogrammingprocess•Differentiate betweenprocedural and object-oriented programming•Describethe features ofobject-oriented programminglanguages•Describethe C# programming language•Write a C# program that produces output•Select identifiers to use within your programs•Improve programs by adding comments and using theSystemnamespace•Compileand executea C# program using the command prompt and using Visual StudioLecture NotesTheProgrammingProcess1.Define a computerprogram(also calledsoftware)as a set ofinstructionsthattell acomputerwhat to do.For emphasis you might state that computers follow instructionsexactly as they are provided.•Distinguish betweensystem softwareandapplication software.•Programmers write the instructions in terms that they can understand usinghigh-levelprogramminglanguagessuch asC# or Visual Basic.Theseinstructions are converted, or compiled,through a seriesof steps intomachinelanguage(a series of 1s and 0s)—the language the computer understands.2.Explain that high-level programming languages:•Use reasonable termssuch as “read,” “write,”or “add”instead ofthe sequenceof1s and 0sused by the computer toperform these tasks.•Allowyou to assignreasonable names to areas of computer memorywhereinformation can be stored(e.g.,variables).•Havetheirownsyntax,which are the rules of the language.

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in alicense distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use.3.Define anidentifieras a one-word name with no embedded spaces used to reference avariableor a procedure.Explain that programmers in C# usecamel casingwhencreating variable names andPascal casingwhen creating method names.4.Define procedures,ormethods,as logical units that group individual operations used ina computer program. Procedures and methods arecalled or invokedby otherprocedures or methods–ultimately aMain()method.5.Explain thatobject-oriented programming(OOP)is an extension of proceduralprogrammingthat effectively combines data and the methods that maintain it.6.Define an object, and discussbehaviors, states, andattributes of an object. Point outthat another term for behaviors is methods, while another term for attributes isproperties. These terms may be used interchangeably.7.Discuss the basic approach to OOP and the types of applications in which it is used.8.Explain the use ofComputer Simulations. You may want to site an example ofdesigning a car on a computer instead of building a clay model. Other possibilitiesinclude architectural design, CGI in movies, etc.9.List the benefits of using aGraphical User Interface (GUI). Ask students if they thinkcomputers would be popular todayif Windows or MAC OS didn’t exist and everythinghad to be done via command line entries.TeachingTipAlthough procedural and object-oriented programming techniques are somewhatsimilar, they raise different concerns in the design and development phasesthatoccur before programs are written.Features ofObject-OrientedProgrammingLanguages1.Define and describe the following features of object-oriented programming:•Classes–an abstract representation of an object, its attributes(properties), and itsbehaviors (methods).•AnInstance of a classis called anObject.•Encapsulation–ablack boxtechniquein which an object’s attributes and methodsare packaged ina cohesive unit that can be used as an undivided entity.•Interfaces–a behavior (method) that is available (exposed) to calling modules.TeachingTipExplain that one of the big advantages to using methods is that you can breaklarge problems into smaller, less intimidating pieces. In other words you cancode a method to address one part of the application, test it, and when you aresatisfied with the results, move on to the next part of the application.

May not be copied, scanned, or duplicated, in whole or in part, except for use as permitted in alicense distributed with a certain product or service or otherwise on a password-protected website for classroom use.•Inheritance–a sub-class that is derived from and used to extend a super (parent)class.•Polymorphism–methods that act appropriately depending on the context.The C#ProgrammingLanguage1.Explain that theC# programming languagewas developed as anobject-oriented andcomponent-oriented language. It is partof Microsoft Visual Studio.2.Mention that C# allows every piece of data to be treated as an objectand contains aGUI interface that makes it similar to Visual Basic. C# was modeled after theC++programming languagebut eliminates some of the most difficult-to-understandfeaturesin C++.3.Point out that C# is very similar to Java because Java was also based on C++. However,every piece of data in C# is an object, unlike in Java.TeachingTipRead the C# standard at:www.ecma-international.org/publications/standards/Ecma-334.htm.Writinga C#ProgramthatProducesOutput1.Use Figure 1-2to describe the main parts of a C# program.2.Define a string and explain the use of aliteral string.3.Explain that arguments represent information that amethod needs to perform its task.Point out that arguments to methods always appear within parentheses.4.Define anamespaceas ascheme or mechanism that provides a way to group similarclasses.5.Describe the components of any C# method as follows:•Themethod header,sometimes called method signature, which includes themethod name and information about what will pass into and be returned from amethod.•Themethod body,which is contained within a pair of curly braces ({}) andincludes all the instructions executed by the method.6.Definewhitespaceas anycombination of spaces, tabs, and carriage returns (blanklines)used to organize your program code and make it easier to read.7.Explain that keywords are predefined and reserved identifiers that havespecial meaningto the compiler.8.Explain that classes that contain a Main() method areapplication classesand thatapplications are executable orrunnable. Note also that classes that do not contain a

Inother words, the same set of IL can be JITcompiled andexecuted on anysupported architecture(e.g.,Windows, Mac, Unix,or Linux).Compiling Codefromthe Command Prompt1.Use Figure 1-10to explain how to compile a C# program from thecommand promptusing thecsccommand.2.Describe someof the most common problemsstudentsmight encounter whenreceivinganOperating System Error Messageatthe command prompt.•Misspellingthe command csc.•Misspellingthe filename.•Forgettingto include the extension .cs with the filename.•Not within the correct subdirectory or folder onyour command line.•The C# compiler was not installed properly.3.Describe some of the most common problems students might encounter when receivinga Programming Language Error Message at the command prompt.•Syntax Error.•Logic Error.Compiling CodeUsingthe Visual Studio IDE

Explain to students that they canselect Debug from the menu bar, and then select Start Without Debugging.Noticing the Differences Between the Programs in the Text Editor and the IDE1.Using Figure 1-14, explain that the Visual Studio IDE contains the following by default:•Fiveusingstatementsat the top of the fileincluding theSystemnamespace.•A namespace declaration and its opening and closing curly braces.The namespacehas the same name as the project.•A class namedProgram.•The wordsstring[]argsbetween the parentheses of theMain()methodheader.•Explain that these optional terms provide a way to pass command lineparameters to the program.Deciding Which Environment to Use1.Describe the advantages ofwriting, compiling, and executing a C# program using thecommand line.•C# programs can be written with your text editor of choice and compiledaslong asyou have the .NET environment available.•This could be an acceptable solution if the application is both relatively small andstraightforward and the IDE is not available.2.Describe the advantages of writing, compiling, and executing a C# program using theVisual Studio IDE.•Some of the code you need is already created for you.•The code is displayed in color.•The IDE includes an auto-complete feature.•You can double-click an error message and the cursor will move to the line ofcodethat contains the error.•Other debugging tools are available.Quick Quiz 21.In order to view the program output, you mustcompile the C# program you wrote(called the source code) into which of the following?a.integrated codeb.developer commandsc.intermediate language (IL)d.debugging code
