Purpose of Course : - Computer programming (often shortened to programming) is a process that
leads from an original formulation of a computing problem to executable
computer programs.
- Programming involves activities such as analysis, developing,
understanding, generating algorithms, verification of requirements of
algorithms including their correctness, and implementation (commonly
referred to as coding) of algorithms in a target programming language.
- Students pursuing their Graduation program will encounter their first
programming language which is one of the pioneer computer programming
languages.
- Purpose of the course is to emphasis on concepts of Compiler based
programming language, structure of code, algorithms, flow-charts, problem
solving attitude, concepts of variables and declaration mechanism of
different datatypes, simple I/O statements, conditional statements, loops,
compound iterations, strings and certain inbuilt functions, header files,
concepts of arrays and one dimensional numeric array operations, numeric
inbuilt functions and concepts of pointers.

Objective : Object of this course is to introduce students the essentials of computer

Programming and programming methodology using C language.
Pre-requisite: None
Course Outcome : - Students will be able to formulate a computing problem to executable
computer program using C language.
- Understand about compiler based programming languages.
- Concepts of variables, literals, data types, conversions of data types, input
and output data and processing of data, inbuilt functions, arrays, header
files, conditional and iterative statements.
