Java Software Solutions Chapter Computer Systems CBasic Computer Processing ? A computer system is made up of hardware and software ? Hardware Chips keyboards disks etc ? Software Programs and the data those programs use ? Key Components of a Computer System ? central processing unit CPU ? input output I O devices ? main memory ? secondary memory devices CMemory ? Programs and data are held in storage devices called memory which fall into two categories ? Main Memory ? The storage device e g chips on the mother board that holds the programs and their data software while the programs are executing ? Secondary Memory ? Devices such as hard disks that store software in a relatively permanent manner ? We save our software on secondary memory Copies of the software are brought into main memory when we execute our programs CSoftware Categories ? We will be concerned with two categories of software ? The operating system ? Provides a user interface that allows us to interact with the machine enter input and view output ? Manages computer resources such as the CPU and main memory ? Application Software ? Generic term for just about any software other than the operating system ? Word processors web browsers games business applications etc ? The focus of this course is development of highquality application programs CWhat This Means to Us ? We will be learning to create application programs using the Java programming language ? We will be using an IDE called NetBeans ? Current version of NetBeans is but and should both be su ?cient also ? IDE stands for Integrated Development Environment Know this CMore What this means to us ? You will dowload the J SE Standard Edition and Development Kit JDK from Sun Microsystems ? You will also download Netbeans and install it ? See separate link for tutorial on this CAnalog versus Digital Signals ? Analog information and or signals are continuous varying in direct proportion to the source of the information ?? like the amplitude of a wave may vary with volume It ? s period may vary with frequency ? ? Digital technology breaks information into discrete pieces and represents the pieces as numbers ? Music on a CD is stored digitally as a series of numbers The music is sampled about times per second and each number represents the voltage level of one speci ?c instance of the recording CAn Analog Signal versus a Digital Signal analog digital CBinary Numbers ? A digital computer stores information as numbers but those numbers are not stored as decimal numbers ? All information in a computer is stored and managed as binary values ? The binary number system has only two digits and ? A single binary digit is called a bit CConverting Binary Numbers to Decimal Numbers ? Starting with the rightmost bit in a binary number each position represents a power of with the rightmost bit position representing which is decimal the next
