All programming languages have specific statements that allow you to perform basic operations. These statements accomplish all programmed activity, including our interaction with objects and the definition of the services those objects provide. This chapter examines several of these programming statements as well as some additional operators. It begins by exploring the basic activities that a programmer goes through when developing software. These activities form the cornerstone of high-quality software development and represent the first step toward a disciplined development process. Finally, we use the statements we examine in this chapter to augment our ability to produce graphical output.
