Variables In Programming Language



A variable is a symbolic name for a memory location in which data can be stored and subsequently recalled. Variables are used for holding data values so that they can be utilized in various computations in a program. All

variables have two important attributes:

· A type which is established when the variable is defined (e.g., integer, real, character). Once defined, the type of a C++ variable cannot be changed.

· A value which can be changed by assigning a new value to the variable. The kind of values a variable can assume depends on its type. For example, an integer variable can only take integer values (e.g., 2, 100, -12).

Object-Oriented Programming and JAVA Programming Language

  Object-Oriented Programming and:   Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm using "objects" – data structures consisting of data fields and methods together with their interactions – to design applications and computer programs. Programming techniques may include features such as data abstraction, encapsulation, messaging, modularity, olymorphism, and inheritance. Many modern programming languages now support OOP, at least as an option. JAVA Programming Language: Object-oriented programming is at the core of Java. In fact, all Java programs are object-oriented, this isn’t an option the way that it is in C++, for example. OOP is so integral to Java that you must understand its basic principles before you can write even simple Java programs. Therefore, this chapter begins with a discussion of the theoretical aspects of OOP.

Compilation Process of a C++ Program

Compiling a C++ program involves a number of steps (most of which are transparent to the user): · First, the C++ preprocessor goes over the program text and carries out theinstructions specified by the preprocessor directives (e.g., #include ). The result is a modified program text which no longer contains any directives. · Then, the C++ compiler translates the program code. The compiler may be a true C++ compiler which generates native (assembly or machine) code, or just a translator which translates the code into C. In the latter case, the resulting C code is then passed through a C compiler to produce native object code. In either case, the outcome may be incomplete due to the program referring to library routines which are not defined as a part of the program. For example, Listing 1.1 refers to the << operator which is actually defined in a separate IO library. · Finally, the linker completes the object code by linking it with the object code of any lib...

Read or input form user in Java using BufferedReader

 BufferedReader use to read text from a character-input stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient reading of characters, arrays, and lines.The buffer size may be specified, or the default size may be used. The default is large enough for most purposes. In Java  BufferedReader is a efficient method to read an input. Here given a short example to read a string from user and print it: package palindrome; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStreamReader; public class  inputExample   {     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));     String s = new String();       s =br.readLine();     System.out.println(s);     } }
