Course Objectives:
The object of this course is to acquaint the students with the basic principles of programming and development of
software systems. It encompasses the use of programming systems to achieve specified goals, identification of
useful programming abstractions or paradigms, the development of formal models of programs, the formalization of
programming language semantics, the specification of program, the verification of programs, etc. the thrust is to
identify and clarify concepts that apply in many programming contexts:
1 Introduction 3
History of computing and computers, programming, block diagram of computer, generation
of computer, types of computer, software, Programming Languages, Traditional and
structured programming concept
2 Programming logic 5
Problems solving(understanding of problems, feasibility and requirement analysis) Design
(flow Chart & Algorithm), program coding (execution, translator), testing and debugging,
Implementation, evaluation and Maintenance of programs, documentation
4 Control Structures 6
Introduction, types of control statements- sequential, branching- if, else, else-if and switch
statements, case, break and continue statements; looping- for loop, while loop, do—while
loop, nested loop, goto statement
6 Functions 6
Introduction, returning a value from a function, sending a value to a function, Arguments,
parsing arrays and structure, External variables, storage classes, pre-processor directives,
C libraries, macros, header files and prototyping
