About the Subject

Easy Understandable Just u need to focus and get into the act.

Objective
To provide an overview of computers and problem solving methods using C Language To serve as a foundation for the study of programming languages.

Unit I Introduction to Computers and Algorithms

Parts of a computer Overview of operating systems, compilers, interpreters and programming languages. Algorithms for exchanging the values of two variables, counting, summation of a set of numbers, factorial computation, sine function computation, generation of the Fibonacci sequence, reversing the digits of an integer, base conversion and character to number conversion.

Unit II Constructs of C
Lexical elements Operators - data types I/O statements format specifications control statements decision making and looping.

Unit III Arrays

Array handling in C declaration single dimensional arrays, two dimensional arrays, multi-dimensional arrays, sorting and searching on single and two dimensional arrays. Array order reversal, array counting or histogramming, finding the maximum number in a set, removal of duplicates from an ordered array, partition an array, finding the kth smallest element strings: Character array string handling functions manipulation on strings.

Unit IV Functions
Prototype declaration - arguments (formal and actual) return types types of functions difference between built-in and user-defined functions.

Unit V Structures
Declarations - nested structures- array of structures - structure to functions - unionsdifference between structure and union
