CSA02 C Programming Syllabus 20200504081112
Prerequisite NIL
Course The course on C programming aims to provide the students with the following
Objectives 1. To familiarize the basic concepts of computer programming.
1. To provide knowledge on syntax and semantics of “C” language.
2. To learn how to write modular and readable C Programs
3. To write programs using structured programming approach to solve problems
4. To provide training in writing efficient, maintainable and portable code.
Course On successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
Outcomes 1. Apply fundamental syntax rule for declaring variables, constants, primitive
data types and choose appropriate conditional and iterative constructs for a
given programming task.
2. Use non-primitive data types such as arrays and strings
3. Design and implement code using functions with various parameter passing
methods, pointers and allocate memory with dynamic memory allocation
functions.
4. Develop programs using user defined data types such as structures and
unions.
5. Design applications for sequential and random processing of files.
