COMPTNG 10A Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Compiled Language, Semicolon
Document Summary
Tells main points that needs to be written. Compilation has 4 stages: preprocessing, compilation (within compilation, assembling, linking. Convenient vs speed: easy to learn, slower because takes time. More (cid:862)produ(cid:272)ti(cid:448)e(cid:863) if (cid:455)ou (cid:449)rite i(cid:374) p(cid:455)tho(cid:374: you can write the same (but slower for the product) application much faster in human hours. Convenient vs speed: not convenient very difficult to learn (product is) fast, good for video games. Have to be written one at a time. The preprocessor handles the preprocessor directives and then hands them to the compiler. Does(cid:374)(cid:859)t look at (cid:858);(cid:859) a(cid:374)d rules of (cid:272)++. Has its o(cid:449)(cid:374) rules to pro(cid:272)ess these dire(cid:272)ti(cid:448)es. Right click one of the includes and you can see what that specific include has for its code. Preprocessor copies and pastes the file from the includes to the program and its compiler. But double is more accurate because it is slower and larger. For most part, no need to use #define.
