Introduction to
Problem Solving

Course Objectives

The course aims to provide exposure to problem-


solving through programming.

The course aims to raise the programming skills


of students via logic building capability.

With knowledge of C programming language,


students would be able to model real world
problems. 2

CO1 Remember the concepts related to fundamentals of C language,


draw flowcharts and write algorithm/pseudocode.

CO2 Understand the way of execution and debug programs in C lan-


guage.
CO3 Apply various constructs, loops, functions to solve mathematical
and scientific problem.

CO4 Analyze the dynamic behavior of memory by the use of pointers.

CO5 Design and develop modular programs for real world problems us-
ing control structure and selection structure.

Structure and Pointers
• Pointer to structure: Pointer which stores address of structure is called as “Pointer to
Structure “.
• Explanation :
1. sptr is pointer to structure address.
2. -> and (*). both represents the same.
3. These operators are used to access data member of structure by using structure’s
pointer.

5
• Example: Program to create a structure and display the content using
pointer.
#include<stdio.h>
struct team { Output:
char *name;
int members;
char captain[20];
}
t1 = {"India",11,"Dhoni"} , *sptr = &t1;
int main()
{
printf("\nTeam : %s",(*sptr).name);
printf("\nMemebers : %d",sptr->members);
printf("\nCaptain : %s",(*sptr).captain);
return 0;
}

Else, we have to declare

We can also initialize the array
variable. That means, structure To access members of a

variable should be declared structure using pointers, we use
syntax as that for initializing
outside the main function. So, the -> operator.

this structure will be visible to
all the functions in a C program.
