COURSE OBJECTIVES:
To understand the constructs of C Language.
To develop C Programs using basic programming constructs
To develop C programs using arrays and strings
To develop modular applications in C using functions
To develop applications in C using pointers and structures
To do input/output and file handling in C
UNIT I BASICS OF C PROGRAMMING 9
Introduction to programming paradigms – Applications of C Language - Structure of C program - C programming: Data Types -
Constants – Enumeration Constants - Keywords – Operators: Precedence and Associativity - Expressions - Input/Output
statements, Assignment statements – Decision making statements - Switch statement - Looping statements – Preprocessor
directives - Compilation process
UNIT II ARRAYS AND STRINGS 9
Introduction to Arrays: Declaration, Initialization – One dimensional array –Two dimensional arrays - String operations: length,
compare, concatenate, copy – Selection sort, linear and binary search.
UNIT III FUNCTIONS AND POINTERS 9
Modular programming - Function prototype, function definition, function call, Built-in functions (string functions, math functions)
– Recursion, Binary Search using recursive functions –Pointers – Pointer operators – Pointer arithmetic – Arrays and pointers –
Array of pointers – Parameter passing: Pass by value, Pass by reference.
UNIT IV STRUCTURES AND UNION 9
Structure - Nested structures – Pointer and Structures – Array of structures – Self referential structures – Dynamic memory
allocation - Singly linked list – typedef – Union - Storage classes and Visibility.
UNIT V FILE PROCESSING 9
Files – Types of file processing: Sequential access, Random access – Sequential access file - Random access file - Command line
arguments.
COURSE OUTCOMES:
