Program Name BS Software Engineering/Computer Science/Information Technology

o “Programming is to Computer science as Calculus to Physics and Engineering”.

Theories of computer science can effectively be verified via programming.
o Students should be able to translate their basic pseudo-code/flow-charts into some
Aims and programming language that computer can understand so that they can get real feel
Objectives of their efforts.
o In addition to learning the translation of their logic into some programming
language, they will also learn basic principles of attacking a problem, a bit of
performance factor and some basic structured design principles.

Topics: Flowcharts/Pseudo Codes, Basic C++ Language Constructs: Data types, Variable
and Constants, Operator and Expressions, Input and Output (I/O), Formatted I/O,
Escape Sequences. Structured Programming in C Language: Decision making using if
control structure, Repetition using for and do while, multiple selection using switch and
logical operators. Procedural Programming in C Language: functions, prototype,
parameter and arguments, call by value and call by reference, library and header files,
scope and life time of variables (storage classes), recursion. Composite data types
Syllabus
arrays: definition, processing, and passing of array to a function, multi-dimensional
arrays, searching and sorting. Pointers: pointer definition, pointer arithmetic, constant
pointers, pointer and arrays. Strings: string and characters, string conversion functions,
Dynamic Memory Allocation. User Defined Data Types: structures, definition,
initialization, accessing members of structures, typedef, union and bitwise operators,
enumerations. C File Processing: files and streams, Sequential Access File, Random
Access File, Secondary Storage I/O. Miscellaneous Topics: Command Line Arguments.

Code of Conduct
• In Quizzes/Tests, you are allowed to use any helping material available at that time unless specified
otherwise. Neighbors and machines are exception.
• Big NOs
o Any sort of communication with your peers/seniors/internet/books etc. on the assigned tasks
may lead you to Grade ‘F’ in the course/Lab.
o Violation of coding convention.
o Late Submissions.
• Once the marks are published on Google docs for any graded task (sessional), You can question about any
discrepancy about it within 3 working days otherwise grading will be considered final.
• Mobile Phones must be switched off during the class and laboratory.
• How to Contact Me:
o Observe the counseling hours! (Preferred/Recommended Option)
When: (Tue, Thu): (1430 ~ 1600)
Where: Graduate Block – 1st Floor – Office#1.
OR
o Use Piazza
