PROGRAMMING FOR PROBLEM SOLVING

Duration of University Examination: 3 Hours

University Examination: 60 Marks
Sessionals: 40 Marks
Instruction period: 4 periods per week

Course Objectives :
The course should enable the students to:
1. Understand programming skills using the fundamentals and basics of C Language.
2. Improve problem solving skills using arrays, strings , and functions.
3. Understand the dynamics of memory by pointers and study files creation process with access
permissions.

Course Outcomes :
1. Students will be able to describe the concept of computer system, analyze a given problem,
develop an algorithm, fundamental programming constructs, identify data representation formats,
and describe operators and their precedence, associativity.
2. Students will be able to understand branching and loop statements.
3. Students will be able to describe the concept of homogeneous derived data types, strings and
functions.
4. Students will be able to understand pointers and heterogeneous data types.
5. Students will be able to describe the concept of the file system.
