2 History of Computers The first computers were people! That is, electronic computers (and the earlier mechanical computers) were given this name because they performed the work that had previously been assigned to people. "Computer" was originally a job title: it was used to describe those human beings (predominantly women) whose job it was to perform the repetitive calculations required to compute such things as navigational tables, tide charts, and planetary positions for astronomical almanacs. Imagine you had a job where hour after hour, day after day, you were to do nothing but compute multiplications. Boredom would quickly set in, leading to carelessness, leading to mistakes. And even on your best days you wouldn't be producing answers very fast. Therefore, inventors have been searching for hundreds of years for a way to mechanize (that is, find a mechanism that can perform) this task. 2 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

3 The abacus was an early aid for mathematical computations
The abacus was an early aid for mathematical computations. Its only value is that it aids the memory of the human performing the calculation. A skilled abacus operator can work on addition and subtraction problems at the speed of a person equipped with a hand calculator (multiplication and division are slower). The abacus is often wrongly attributed to China. In fact, the oldest surviving abacus was used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. 3 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

31 Computer Processing Speed
Computer processing speed depends on a variety of factors. Three of the most important factors are: Word length (the number of bits that can be processed at one time by the microprocessor) Cycle Speed (how fast individual events are processed, measured in Megahertz) Data Bus Width (determines how much data can be transferred between the CPU and memory) Other factors Include: RAM (amount of available random access memory) Disk Access Speed (speed that data can be read from hard disk) Code Efficiency (how efficiently the computer code has been designed) 31 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

33 What is a computer System?
Software Hardware Computer system – A collection of related components that are designed to work together. A system includes hardware and software. 33 33 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09 33

34 What is a computer? Hardware Processor Memory
I/O units (Input/Output Units) 34 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

35 How does a computer work?
Executes very simple instructions. Executes them incredibly fast. Must be programmed: it is the software, i.e., the programs, that characterize what a computer actually does. 35 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

36 Major Components of a computing system
Computer Structure CPU = Central Processing Unit Input Devices Control Unit Arithmetic- Logic Unit Output Devices Main Memory External Memory Major Components of a computing system 36 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

37 Computer Structure Registers are a set of special high-speed memory locations within the CPU Access speed within the register is thousands of times faster than access speed in RAM MEMORY MEASUREMENT The memory unit of a computer is two-state devices. Then it is natural to use a binary scheme (using only the two binary digits {bits} 0 and 1 to represent information in a computer). Bytes = 8 Bits Memory is commonly measured in bytes, and a block of 210 = 1024 bytes = 1 K 1MB=1024 K= = = 220 = 1,048,576 bytes. or = 223 = 8,384,608 bits. 37 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

38 What is a computer program?
The computer program characterizes what a computer actually does. A program (independently of the language in which it is written) is constituted by two fundamental parts: A representation of the information (data) relative to the domain of interest. A description of how to manipulate the representation in such a way as to realize the desired functionality: operations. To write a program both aspects have to be addressed. 38 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

39 Program A list of instructions that are grouped together to accomplish a task or tasks. The instructions, called machine code or assembly code consist of things like reading and writing memory, arithmetic operations, and comparisons. 39 39 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09 39 39

40 Program Every program must be translated into a machine language that the computer can understand. This translation is performed by compilers, interpreters, and assemblers. When you buy software, you normally buy an executable version of a program. This means that the program is already in machine language -- it has already been compiled and assembled and is ready to execute. 40 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09 40 40

41 41 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

42 Program While easily understood by computers, machine languages are almost impossible for humans to use because they consist entirely of numbers. Programmers, therefore, use either a high-level programming language or an assembly language. An assembly language contains the same instructions as a machine language, but the instructions and variables have names instead of being just numbers. Programs written in high-level languages are translated into assembly language or machine language by a compiler. Assembly language programs are translated into machine language by a program called an assembler. Every CPU has its own unique machine language. Programs must be rewritten or recompiled, therefore, to run on different types of computers. 42 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

43 Compiler A program that translates source code into object code. The compiler derives its name from the way it works, looking at the entire piece of source code and collecting and reorganizing the instructions. Thus, a compiler differs from an interpreter, which analyzes and executes each line of source code in succession, without looking at the entire program. The advantage of interpreters is that they can execute a program immediately. Compilers require some time before an executable program emerges. However, programs produced by compilers run much faster than the same programs executed by an interpreter. 43 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

44 (High-level language)‏
Compiler Every high-level programming language (except strictly interpretive languages) comes with a compiler. In effect, the compiler is the language, because it defines which instructions are acceptable. Because compilers translate source code into object code, which is unique for each type of computer, many compilers are available for the same language. For example, there is a FORTRAN compiler for PCs and another for Apple Macintosh computers. In addition, the compiler industry is quite competitive, so there are actually many compilers for each language on each type of computer. More than a dozen companies develop and sell C compilers for the PC. Source Program (High-level language)‏ Compiler Object Program (machine language)‏ Compilation errors Run-time errors Steps of execution of a Fortran program 44 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

45 Interpreter A program that executes instructions written in a high-level language. There are two ways to run programs written in a high-level language. The most common is to compile the program; the other method is to pass the program through an interpreter. An interpreter translates high-level instructions into an intermediate form, which it then executes. In contrast, a compiler translates high-level instructions directly into machine language. Compiled programs generally run faster than interpreted programs. The advantage of an interpreter, however, is that it does not need to go through the compilation stage during which machine instructions are generated. This process can be time-consuming if the program is long. The interpreter, on the other hand, can immediately execute high-level programs. For this reason, interpreters are sometimes used during the development of a program, when a programmer wants to add small sections at a time and test them quickly. In addition, interpreters are often used in education because they allow students to program interactively. Both interpreters and compilers are available for most high-level languages. However, BASIC and LISP are especially designed to be executed by an interpreter. In addition, page description languages, such as PostScript, use an interpreter. Every PostScript printer, for example, has a built-in interpreter that executes PostScript instructions. 45 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

46 Programing Language A programming language that is once removed from a computer's machine language. Machine languages consist entirely of numbers and are almost impossible for humans to read and write. Assembly languages have the same structure and set of commands as machine languages, but they enable a programmer to use names instead of numbers. Each type of CPU has its own machine language and assembly language, so an assembly language program written for one type of CPU won't run on another. In the early days of programming, all programs were written in assembly language. Now, most programs are written in a high-level language such as FORTRAN or C. Programmers still use assembly language when speed is essential or when they need to perform an operation that isn't possible in a high-level language. 46 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09 46 46

47 Why we use a programming language ?
The main reason for learning a programming language is to use the computer to solve scientific engineering problems 47 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

52 solving a problem : Algorithm - Flowcharts
Flowcharts are often used to graphically represent algorithms. In mathematics, computing, linguistics, and related subjects, an algorithm is a finite sequence of instructions, an explicit, step-by-step procedure for solving a problem, often used for calculation and data processing. It is formally a type of effective method in which a list of well-defined instructions for completing a task, will when given an initial state, proceed through a well-defined series of successive states, eventually terminating in an end-state. The transition from one state to the next is not necessarily deterministic; some algorithms, known as probabilistic algorithms, incorporate randomness. 52 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09

57 -Sen kaç ayda bu hale geldin ağaç? -On yılda, demiş kavak.
Kavak Ağacı ile Kabak Ulu bir kavak ağacının yanında bir kabak filizi boy göstermiş. Bahar ilerledikçe bitki kavak ağacına sarılarak yükselmeye başlamış. Yağmurların ve güneşin etkisiyle müthiş bir hızla büyümüş ve neredeyse kavak ağacı ile aynı boya gelmiş. Bir gün dayanamayıp sormuş kavağa: -Sen kaç ayda bu hale geldin ağaç? -On yılda, demiş kavak. -On yılda mı? Diye gülmüş ve çiçeklerini sallamış kabak. -Ben neredeyse iki ayda seninle aynı boya geldim bak! -Doğru, demiş kavak. Günler günleri kovalamış ve sonbaharın ilk rüzgârları başladığında kabak üşümeye sonra yapraklarını düşürmeye, soğuklar arttıkça da aşağıya doğru inmeye başlamış. Sormuş endişeyle kavağa: -Neler oluyor bana ağaç? -Ölüyorsun, demiş kavak. -Niçin? -Benim on yılda geldiğim yere, iki ayda gelmeye çalıştığın için. Çalışmadan emek harcamadan gelinen nokta başarı sayılmaz. Kolay kazanılan, kolay kaybedilir.  Her işte alın teri ve emek şarttır. 57 57 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09 57

62 Programming and Problem Solving
Program-development process consists of at least five steps: 1) Problem analysis and specification The first stage in solving the problem is to analyze the problem and formulate a precise specification of it 2) Data organization and algorithm design Determine how to organize and store the data in the problem. Develop procedures to process the data and produce the required output. These procedures are called algorithms. 3) Program coding Coding is the process of implementing data objects and algorithms in some programming language. A Simple program begins with the PROGRAM, and ends with the END PROGRAM statements 62 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09 62 62

63 Programming and Problem Solving
4) Execution and testing This is the checking step that the algorithm and program are correct. Compile (produce an object file) {compile-time errors} + run {run-time errors}: IMPORTANT!! Logic errors that arise in the design of the algorithm or in the coding of the program are very hard to find. 5) Program maintenance In real world applications, programs need to modify to improve their performance. 63 Introduction to Scientific & Engineering Computing 07/26/09 63 63

65 Algoritma ve Akış Diyagramları
Algoritma sözcüğü Ebu Abdullah Muhammed bin Musa el Harezmi adındaki İran’lı alimden gelmiştir. El Harezmi 9. yüzyılda cebir alanındaki çalışmalarını kitaba dökerek matematiğe çok büyük bir katkı sağlamıştır. Hazırladığı bu “Hisab el-cebir ve el-mukabala” kitabı dünyanın ilk cebir kitabı ve aynı zamanda ilk algoritma kitabı olma özelliğini kazanmıştır. Algoritma, çözülmesi gereken bir problemin belirli kurallar ve mantık çerçevesinde adım adım çözülerek yazıya dökülmesi işlemidir. Algoritmalar sonlu ve kesin ifadelerle birlikte kullanılmalıdır. Aksi takdirde sonu belirlenmemiş ve/veya kesin ifadeler kullanılmamış algoritmalar yazılırsa sonsuz döngü, kilitlenme gibi istenmeyen bir takım hatalar ortaya çıkacaktır. Yazar: Mehmet PEKGENÇ

66 Algoritma Neden Gereklidir?
Aslında algoritmalar her zaman hayatımızın bir parçası olmuştur. Çoğu insan her gün birtakım işlerini algoritma yoluyla yaptıkları halde bunun farkında değildir. Örneğin, çay demlemek, yemek yapmak, işe gitmek, araba sürmek gibi işlemlerde normal şartlar altında belli bir sıralama takip edilmektedir. Kısacası yapacağımız tüm işlemlerde yapılması ve/veya yapılmaması gereken kurallar dizisi olacaktır. Bu yüzden tüm programcılar bu kuralları atlamadan hatasız bir şekilde program oluşturmaya çalışırlar. Bunu başarabilmeleri için birkaç saat ya da gün ayırarak bu işlem basamaklarını oluşturmak zorundadırlar. Eğer algoritma oluşturmadan program yazılırsa, daha sonra yazılan yüzlerce ve/ veya binlerce kod arasından hata bulmak neredeyse imkansızdır. Fakat elimizin altında belli bir sırada işlem basamakları olduğu sürece hangi programlama dilinde yazarsak yazalım programımız hatasız olacaktır. Özellikle bilgisayar programcılığı okuyan arkadaşlarımızın arasında rastladığım kadarıyla çoğu, bu durumu göz ardı etmektedir. Ne kadar çok programlama dili bilirsek o kadar iyi program yazabiliriz düşüncesine sahipler. Unutulmamalıdır ki eğer bir soruna matematiksel ya da mantıksal bir çözüm getiremiyorsak programlama dili bilmemizinde bir anlamı yoktur.Programcılar algoritmaların dışında bir de akış diyagramları kullanmaktadırlar.

67 Akış Diyagramı Neden Gereklidir?
Algoritmanın daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için yazı yerine akış diyagramları kullanılmaktadır. Bunu kullanmanın diğer bir önemli yanı da oluşturulan her algoritmanın herkesin anladığı dili yansıtmasıdır. Aksi halde algoritmalar, yazıldığı dili (Türkçe, İngilizce vb.) bilmeyen diğer bir kişi tarafından anlaşılır olmayacaktır. Bu yüzden uluslararası standart sembollerle tüm algoritmaların yazıldıkları dillerden bağımsız hale getirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bunun için akış diyagramları hayatımıza girmiştir. Konunun daha iyi anlaşılması açısından şu örneği verebiliriz. Trafik lambalarında renk ve/veya şekil yerine DUR, BEKLE ya da GEÇ yazması bizim için anlamlıdır ancak yabancılar için hiçbir anlam ifade etmemektedir. Trafik lambalarında yazı yerine KIRMIZI, YEŞİL gibi renk kodlarının kullanılması tüm dünyada bu işaretleri anlaşılır kılmıştır. Bu yüzden algoritmaları akış diyagramları ile sembolize etmek projenizin uluslararası anlaşılırlığını artıracaktır

68 Algoritmanın Özellikleri
Etkinlik: Algoritma oluştururken dikkat etmemiz gereken özelliklerden biri etkinliktir. Bu özelliğin sağlanabilmesi için oluşturulan algoritmalarda işlem tekrarı olmamasına dikkat edilmelidir. Diğer bir işlem ise oluşturulan algoritmanın gerekirse diğer algoritmalar içinde kullanılmasını sağlıyor. Kesinlik: Kullanılan değerler her zaman kesin ifadeler içermelidir. Sonluluk: Her algoritmanın bir sonu vardır. Ne kadar işlem ya da döngü olursa olsun algoritmanın uygun bir adımda sonlandırılması gerekir. Giriş/Çıkış: Tüm algoritmaların giriş ve çıkış verileri olmak zorundadır. Çıkış verilerinin kesinlikle doğru olmasına dikkat edilmelidir. Çünkü, çıkışverileri başka bir algoritmanın giriş verisi olarak kullanılabiliyor. Performans: Performans değeri, algoritmanın ne kadar tekrar ettiği, uyguladığı işlemler, çalışma süresi gibi işlemlere göre belirlenir. Eğer  oluşturulan algoritmada performans ihtiyacı varsa saydığım bu tür özelliklere dikkat edilmesi gerekiyor. Eğer bu tip sorunlar varsa tekrar incelenerek düzeltilmesi gerekir.

69 Örnek Algoritma... Yeni başlayan arkadaşlara örnek oluşturması için 1’den 100’e kadar olan tam sayıların aritmetik ortalamasını hesaplayan bir algoritma ve akış diyagramını yapalım. Bunun için öncelikle 1’den 100’e kadar olan sayıların toplamına ihtiyacımız olacaktır. Sonrasında bu toplamın 100’e bölünmesiyle ortalama elde edilecektir. Burada toplam için (n*n+1) /2 ne güne duruyor dediğinizi duyar gibiyim. :) Tabiki toplamı bulmak için Gauss yöntemini kullanabiliriz ancak anlatmaya çalıştığımız şey algoritma kurmayı göstermek olduğundan biz uzun yolu seçiyoruz. Bu anlattıklarımız ışığında algoritmamız aşağıdaki gibi olacaktır. Başla Sayac=1 : Toplam=0 : Aritmetik_Orta=0 Eğer Sayac=100 ise Git 6 Toplam=Toplam+Sayac Sayac=Sayac+1 : Git 3 Aritmetik_Orta=Toplam/100 Aritmetik_Orta değerini yaz Dur.

70 Ayrıca anlaşılırlığını artırmak için akış diyagramını çizdiğimizde oluşacak diyagram ise aşağıdaki gibidir.

71 Algoritmanın programlama dillerinden bağımsız olmasının yanında işletim sistemlerinden de bağımsız olduğunu unutmayınız. Programcılığın başlangıcından itibaren, hayatınızın sonuna kadar devam edecek ve değişmeyecek tek gerçek aslında algoritmadır. Bu yüzden programcılığa yeni başlayan ya da başlayacak olan arkadaşlara algoritma ile iyi geçinmelerini tavsiye ederim. Konu ile ilgili görüş ve önerilerinizi Özgürlükİçin forumlarına bekliyorum.
