CC123_Module_1 Fundamentals of C#

Compiler Design

Computers are a balanced mix of software and hardware.

Binary Language

Binary language has only two alphabets, 0 and 1.

Compilers

We have compilers to write such codes (binary) instead of manually writing 0s and 1s.

Language Processing System

We write programs in high-level language, which are easier for us.

Compiler

A compiler converts high-level language to assembly language.

Assembler

An ______ translates assembly language programs into machine code.

converts the assembly language to machine-level language.

Linker

links and merges various object files together.

A ______ tool links all the parts of the program together for execution.

Loader

is responsible for loading executable files into memory.

A _______loads all of them into memory and then the program is executed.

Cross-compiler

A compiler that runs on platform A and generates code for platform B.

Source-to-source Compiler

A compiler that translates source code from one language to another.

Objects

are the basic run-time entities in an object-oriented system.

Class

A group of objects that share common properties for data part and some program part.

Encapsulation

Wrapping of data and functions together as a single unit.

Data Abstraction

Representing essential features without including background details.

Inheritance

The mechanism by which one class can inherit the properties of another.

Polymorphism

The ability to take more than one form.

Dynamic Binding

The code associated with a given procedure call is not known until run-time.

Message Passing

An object-oriented program consists of a set of objects that communicate with each other.
