72ac1introduction To Computers and Programming in C

This document provides an introduction and overview of a course on computers and programming in C. The course objectives are to acquaint students with computer systems, components, data representation, and the C programming language. The course content is divided into 5 modules that cover introduction to computers and data representation, programming fundamentals in C, control structures, arrays and functions, and advanced C features like pointers, structures, and file handling. Student performance will be evaluated through class tests, home assignments, seminars/vivas/quizzes, and an end semester examination. Suggested textbooks and references for the course are also listed.
