Title of the course: Fundamentals of Computing-II Credit details: 3-1-3-0-[7]

Instructor: Urbi Chatterjee


Lab: Thursday, Friday 2:00pm – 5:00pm (offline in computer labs)
Tutorials: Tuesday, 5 pm to 6pm.
Objective of the course: To introduce basic concepts in and applications of imperative,
procedural programming using the C programming language.

Lab Requirements: Students are required to complete lab assignment of 2-3 problems per week
on the Prutor platform in computer labs assigned to them. The computer lab assignment will be
uploaded on the Hello IITK platform. The lab submissions done outside the computer lab won’t
be accepted in any situation. It is mandatory for all students to complete the lab questions while
sitting the computer labs.

Course content: Pointers (notion of reference, pointer arithmetic, dynamic memory


allocation/deallocation), User-defined data types (enum, struct), Functions (passing references,
arrays, instances of user-defined data types as arguments), Examples of syntactic sugar in C
(switch-case, subscription, member access), Dynamic data structures (lists, stacks, queues, trees),
Sorting (efficient algorithms such as merge sort and/or others), Recursion, Notion of asymptotic
complexity (motivation, big-Oh notation), File IO (elementary operations topics such as
open/close, read/write, formatted IO, file positioning, operations on files, error handling,
Optional: reading from command line using cat, pipe; Optional: safeguards against buffer
overflows) Demonstration of problem solving using various applications (Optional examples:
root finding, solutions to systems of linear equations, integration, solution of ODEs, or others).

Laboratory Sessions: Weekly laboratory sessions will involve students solving 2-3
programming problems on an integrated development environment (Prutor (iitk.ac.in)). The
students will solve these problems on either Thursday or Friday as per the allocation from 2:00
pm to 5:00 pm in the computer labs. The details of the allocated day and lab location will be
shared on the Hello IITK platform. Teaching assistants will be available during the lab hours to
help students. Please note that no mobile phone is allowed in the laboratory sessions, quizzes, lab
examinations and final written examination.
