Course Outcomes (COs):


After successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
1. Analyze arithmetic and logical problems and formulate algorithms / flow-charts for
solution.
2. Use different control structures of C programming language to develop a possible
programming solution
3. Use arrays, strings, structures and unions to store appropriate data and develop a possible
programming solution
4. Decompose a problem into smaller problems and synthesize a complete program through
user defined functions using appropriate parameter passing methods
5. Decipher C program to identify syntax & logical errors and determine outputs
6. Enhance logical reasoning and programming skills
