Pre-requisites                             :  NIL

Course Educational Objective: In this course student will learn about

The basic elements of C programming structures like data types, expressions, control statements, various I/O functions and how to solve simple mathematical problems using control structures. The derived data types like arrays, strings, various operations on them. Modular programming using functions and Memory management using pointers. User defined structures and various operations on it. The basics of files and its I/O operations.

Course Outcomes: At the end of the course, the student shall be able to:

CO1: Identify basic elements of C programming structures like data types, expressions, control statements, various simple functions and in view of using them in problem solving.

CO2: Apply various operations on derived data types like arrays and strings in problem solving.

CO3: Design and Implement Modular Programming and memory management using pointers.

CO4: Implement user defined data structures used in specific applications.

CO5: Compare different file I/O operations on text and binary files.

UNIT – I

Introduction to Problem solving through C-Programming: Problem Specification.

Algorithm / pseudo code, flowchart, examples.

C-Programming: Structure of C program, identifiers, basic data types and sizes, Constants, variables, Input-output statements, A sample C program, operators: arithmetic, relational and logical operators, increment and decrement operators, conditional operator, bit-wise operators, assignment operators, expressions, type conversions, conditional expressions, precedence of  operators and order of evaluation. 

Conditional statements: if, if else, else if ladder and switch statements, continue, goto. Loops: while, do-while and for statements, break, programming examples.

UNIT – II

Arrays- one dimensional arrays-concept, declaration, definition, accessing elements, storing elements, two dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays.

Character Strings: declaration, initialization, reading, writing strings, arithmetic operations on characters, string handling functions, programming examples 

UNIT – III

Pointers- concepts, declaring & initialization of pointer variables, pointer expressions, pointer arithmetic, pointers and arrays, pointers and character strings, pointer to pointer, Pre-processor Directives and macros.  

UNIT –IV

Derived types- structures- declaration, definition and initialization of structures, accessing structures, nested structures, array of structures, structures and functions, pointer to structure, self-referential structures, unions, typedef, programming examples. 

UNIT – V

Files – concept of a file, text files and binary files, streams, standard I/O, Formatted I/O, file I/O operations, error handling, and programming examples.
