Chapter 1, Problem 18RQ

Explanation of Solution

Strongest influence on programming languages design over past 50 years:

Computer architecture has been the strongest influence on language design for the last 50 years. Computer architecture means the internal structure or organization of a computer.

The most popular architecture used is von Neumann Architecture. Almost all the digital computers after 1940s use von Neumann Architecture.

Influence of Von Neumann Architecture:

  • Von Neumann Architecture uses a single memory to store data as well as programs and a processor to perform computations.
  • Data and instructions flow from memory to processor for computation and later the result is transferred back to the memory.
  • The languages are designed so as to take advantage of the working of the von Neumann computers...

Modular Program Structure. Analysis of Structured Programming Examples. Ways to Reduce Coupling. Based on the given problem, create an algorithm and a block diagram, and write the program code: Function: y=xsin⁡x Interval: [0,π] Requirements: Create a graph of the function. Show the coordinates (x and y). Choose your own scale and show it in the block diagram. Create a block diagram based on the algorithm. Write the program code in Python. Requirements: Each step in the block diagram must be clearly shown. The graph of the function must be drawn and saved (in PNG format). Write the code in a modular way (functions and the main part should be separate). Please explain and describe the results in detail.
