Computer Programming

INTRODUCTION
Generation and Classification of Computers- Basic Organization of a Computer –Number
System – Binary – Decimal – Conversion – Problems. Need for logical analysis and thinking –
Algorithm – Pseudo code – Flow Chart.
C PROGRAMMING BASICS
Problem formulation – Problem Solving - Introduction to „ C‟ programming
–fundamentals – structure of a „C‟ program – compilation and linking processes – Constants,
Variables – Data Types – Expressions using operators in „C‟ – Managing Input and Output
operations – Decision Making and Branching – Looping statements – solving simple scientific
and statistical problems.
ARRAYS AND STRINGS
Arrays – Initialization – Declaration – One dimensional and Two dimensional arrays.
String- String operations – String Arrays. Simple programs- sorting- searching – matrix
operations
FUNCTIONS AND POINTERS
Function – definition of function – Declaration of function – Pass by value – Pass by reference –
Recursion – Pointers - Definition – Initialization – Pointers arithmetic – Pointers and arrays-
Example Problems.
STRUCTURES AND UNIONS
Introduction – need for structure data type – structure definition – Structure declaration –
Structure within a structure - Union - Programs using structures and Unions – Storage classes,
Pre-processor directives.
