Lecture Practical C++ programming - Chapter 2: The basics of programming

Chapter 2 give students an idea of what a programming language is. We try to give students an idea of the work done to translate a high-level programing language into an executable program. Lecture also describes in extreme detail the steps needed to run a compiler. Four specific compilers, Borland-C++, Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, GNU’s g++, and a generic UNIX CC compiler, are described.
