After completion of the course students will get hold of obligatory basis for writing small and large scale structural programs using C/C++ language by using primitive and advanced C/C++ elements. They will be well advance in logic especially in dealing with quick programming. This course provides the student with the skills required to design, code, and test and execute C/C++ programs of simple to intermediate complexity.
Objective: This course has two main objectives. First objective is to give students introduction to Computers, its components, networks and world wide web. Secondly the course will familiarize students with the structural programming concepts. Course starts with the very primitive and basic concepts of programming. It will cover basic and advance C/C++ elements along with development of programming logic. The initial phase will start with focus on Introduction to C/C++ Environment, Data types, Format Specifier, Control Structures, Pointers, Function Pointers, Structures, unions, enumerations, etc. In later phase students will learn Bitwise Operators, File I/O and the process of porting their programs to other operating systems. Outcomes:
- The students will be able to develop programming logic and implement it using C/C++ language.
- The students will be able to write effective and efficient C/C++ programs.
- The students will understand the basic concepts of C/C++ programming along with advanced topics like Pointers, Standard C libraries, File Handling mechanisms and structures Books: Test book:
