Programming For Problem Solving1'

This document outlines a course on programming for problem solving using the C language. The course objectives are to understand problem solving concepts, apply programming constructs in C to solve real-world problems, and explore data structures like arrays and strings for implementing solutions. The course covers fundamentals of problem solving methodology, C programming basics, control statements, arrays, strings, functions, pointers, structures, unions and file operations across 5 modules. The outcomes are to understand problem solving fundamentals, use decision/control constructs, apply concepts of arrays/strings, functions and pointers to problems, and create solutions using structures and files.
