Lecture 4 | Programming Paradigms (Stanford)

Lecture by Professor Jerry Cain for Programming Paradigms (CS107) in the Stanford University Computer Science department. In this lecture, Prof. Cain discusses C and C++ programming, including bit patterns, memory copy, and linear search.

Programming Paradigms (CS107) introduces several programming languages, including C, Assembly, C++, Concurrent Programming, Scheme, and Python. The class aims to teach students how to write code for each of these individual languages and to understand the programming paradigms behind these languages.

C rocks. It's like the feeling you get from driving a stick shift....total control! I started with BASIC and Python and thought they were great because they were so easy, almost like using pseudocode. With C I feel like I'm thinking about programming properly and understanding what's going on under the hood. I think an understanding of both C and LISP is essential to becoming a good programmer.

This teacher is awesome. Very concise, linear, and well thought out. Glad he's doing this, passing on his accuracy. one of those jumbled teachers would prolly dive-bomb all these ideas into a mess (or twice as much lecture time).

where can i find the assignments

[yeors]

make sense?? XD jajajajajajajajaja

[TheOkham]

The quality of teachers at Stamford is just breathtaking.

No one is using 16 bit systems. What is pertinent is that the long type is always the word size of the machine It is very common in contemporary compilers to have int and long be the same size. Check: This is why God invented the sizeof operator.

@deathbyaccident

There are eight bits in a byte; byte stands for By-Eight. So 16 bits is equal to 16/8 (16 by 8) bytes, which is 2 bytes. Does that make sense to people? lol :P

[deathbyaccident]

@tapajara haha you fail at acting smart 16 bits is 4 bytes

[Tapajara]

You should point out that an "int" is only 16 bits in a 16-bit system. You should be using "long" instead of "int" in your examples.

@dimipeli

yea i think this as well.. and being from stanford they wouldnt make as many mistakes as other "normal" univerisites? Maybe i am wrong? But i do like this teacher! :)
