CSCI 146: Lab 1 Materials

The main goal of Lab 1 is to introduce the Microsoft Visual Studio program development environment, including the Visual C++ compiler. A secondary goal is to learn how to use a web browser to download programs from the world-wide web. The following activities will be carried out:

• How to access the Visual C++ and the Visual Studio Program Development Environment.
• How to write, save, compile, build, and execute the ``Hello, world!'' program in C.
• Ditto in C++.
• Ditto for a program using classes from Chapter two of the textbook: the first throttle program.
• How to download a program from the world-wide web.
• How to write, save, compile, build, and execute a program using classes with separate header file, implementation file, and demonstration file.

  Here is the ``Hello, world!'' program in C:
  

  
  // FILE: hello.c
  // The ``Hello, world!'' program in C
  
  #include         // Provides printf
  
  int main( )
  {
      printf("Hello, world!\n");
  
      return 0;
  }  
  
  

  Here is the ``Hello, world!'' program in C++:
  

  // FILE: hello.c
  // The ``Hello, world!'' program in C++
  // Precondition: None
  // Postcondition: Hello, world! is printed to standard output.
  
  #include      // Provides cout and cin
  #include        // Provides EXIT_SUCCESS
  
  int main( )
  {
  
      cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
  
      return EXIT_SUCCESS;
  }
