Course Overview
This course provides a thorough introduction to the ‘C’ programming language. The first two weeks
will cover basic syntax and grammar, and expose students to practical programming techniques. The
remaining lectures will focus on more advanced concepts, such as arrays, functions including
recursion, pointers, dynamic memory allocation, structures, union, and file handling.

Unit-I 03 Hrs
Computer Fundamentals and C Language:
Fundamentals of Computers: C Language: Structure of C Program, Memory Layout of C
Programs, Phases of developing a running computer program in C, how does a C Program
Execute - Pre processor, Compiler, Linker, Loader, Library Functions, Various components of
a computer that programs require for execution.

Unit – II 06 Hrs
Data Concepts and Operators:
Data concepts in C: Constants, Variables - Variables as named memory locations, Rules for
Constructing Variables, understanding different Data Types - range, size, and appropriate
usage, C Keywords, format specifiers - %d, %c, %ud, %l, %f, Uses and Common Errors
associated with them, Instruction, Pre- processor Directive, Macros.
Operator in C: Arithmetic Operators - Hierarchy of operations, Precedence, Relational
Operators - (>, <, >=, <=, !=, ==), Logical Operators - Logical AND (&&), Logical OR ( || )
Logical Not (!), Conditional Operators - (?:), Bit-wise Operators - ( &, |, ^, ~, <<, >> ),
Assignment Operators. Type Conversion and Type Casting.
Unit –III 15 Hrs
Decision Control, Loops, and Functions:
Decision Control in C: if Statement, else-if Statement, nested else -if Statement - Use case,
example for nested if-else, switch. Loop statements: for, while, do-while, break (from loop),
continue, exit - exit status to represent the exit code of the program, program clean ups done
by exit function.
Introduction to Functions-: Function Declaration and Definition. Function Prototype.
Calling a Function, Return Value. Parameters and Arguments. Local, Global, and Static
Variables. Pass by value and reference.
 Understanding the use of pointers. Recursion: Basic concept of recursion, Study of basic
problems using recursion: factorial, GCD, Fibonacci series.

Unit –IV 10 Hrs

Arrays and Strings:
Arrays: Declaration and Initialization, Indexing, Array Size and Bounds. One-dimensional,
Two-dimensional and Multi-dimensional arrays. Array Traversal, Array Manipulation -
(insertion, deletion, merging, assigning values, swapping elements, linear search, binary
search, search all the occurrences, first occurrence, last occurrence, find or remove duplicates,
modify/update elements). Sorting – Selection, Bubble, and Insertion. Passing a row, passing
the entire array, matrices as a function argument.
String:- Strings as array of characters, string Library functions.

Unit –V 11 Hrs
Structures and Files:
Structures: Introduction to Structures and Unions, Structure Definition and Declaration,
Accessing Structure Members. Array of Structures. Passing Structures to Functions. Pointer to
Structures. Accessing Structure Members through Pointers. Passing Structures as Reference.
Basic file operations: Creating a new file, opening an existing file, reading from file, writing
to a file, moving to a specific location in a file, Closing a file.

Course Outcomes: After completing the course, the students will be able to: -
CO 1 Understand and analyze the concepts of number system, memory, fundamental
concepts in C programming language.
CO 2 Demonstrate fundamental data types, operators and console I/O functions in C.
CO 3 Implement programs using decision control statements, control flow statements,
arrays, strings, functions, and pointers to solve mathematical problems.
CO 4 Analyze and evaluate the programming concepts based on user defined data types
and file handling in C language.
CO 5 Design and implement appropriate concepts of C to solve real-world problems.
