Programming For Problem Solving

Programming For Problem Solving Is Also Known As C Programming Or Programming In C. Details Syllabus As Follows:

• Introduction to Programming: Introduction to components of a
  computer system: Memory, processor, I/O Devices, storage,
  operating system, Concept of assembler, compiler, interpreter, loader
  and linker.
  Idea of Algorithm: Representation of Algorithm, Flowchart, Pseudo
  code with examples, From algorithms to programs, source code.
  Programming Basics: Structure of C program: writing and executing the
  first C program, Syntax and logical errors in compilation, object and
  executable code. Components of C language: Standard I/O in C,
  Fundamental data types, Variables and memory locations, Storage
  classes.
• Arithmetic expressions & Conditional Branching: Arithmetic
  expressions and precedence: Operators and expression using numeric
  and relational operators, mixed operands, type conversion, logical
  operators, bit operations, assignment operator, operator precedence
  and associatively.
  Conditional Branching: Applying if and switch statements, nesting if
  and else, use of break and default with switch.
• Loops & Functions: Iteration and loops: use of while, do while and
  for loops, multiple loop variables, use of break and continue
  statements.
  Functions: Introduction, types of functions, functions with array, passing
  parameters to functions, call by value, call by reference, recursive
  functions.
• Arrays & Basic Algorithms: Arrays: Array notation and
  representation, manipulating array elements, using multi dimensional
  arrays. Character arrays and strings, Structure, union, enumerated
  data types, Array of structures, Passing arrays to functions.
  Basic Algorithms: Searching &Basic Sorting Algorithms (Bubble,
  Insertion and Selection), Finding roots of equations, Notion of order of
  complexity.
• Pointer& File Handling: Pointers: Introduction, declaration,
  applications, Introduction to dynamic memory allocation (malloc,
  calloc, realloc, free), Use of pointers in self-referential structures,
  notion of linked list (no implementation)
  File handling: File I/O functions, Standard C preprocessors,
  defining and calling macros, command-line arguments.
