Introduction to Arrays: Declaration, Initialization – One dimensional array –Two
dimensional arrays - String operations: length, compare, concatenate, copy – CO3
Searching : linear and binary search.
UNIT - IV Functions and Pointers
Modular programming - Function prototype, function definition, function call,
Built-in functions (string functions, math functions) -Parameter passing: Pass by
CO4
value, Pass by reference – Recursion. Pointers – Pointer operators – Pointer
arithmetic – Arrays and pointers – Array of pointers.
