Star C Programming:

C is a general-purpose programming language that is ideal for developing firmware or portable applications. Today C is the most widely used and popular System Programming Language as well as for beginner who want make career in software programming. Most of the state-of-the-art software have been implemented using C. C was initially used for system development work, particularly the programs that make-up the operating system. C was adopted as a System development language because it produces code that runs nearly as fast as the code written in assembly language. C might be Operating Systems Language Compilers, Assemblers, Text Editors, Print Spoolers, Network Drivers, Modern Programs, Databases, Language Interpreters, and Utilities.

Audience:

Beginner to Intermediate, basic literacy is assumed but no special knowledge is required before you start programming in C.

C Programming Course Objectives:

• To develop programming skills using the fundamentals and basics of C language.
• To impart the knowledge about pointers which is the backbone of effective memory handling.
• To study the advantages of user defined datatype which provides flexibility for application development.
• To teach the basics of preprocessors available With C compiler.

Course Outcome:

• To obtain the knowledge about the number Systems this will be very useful for bitwise operations.
• To develop programs using the basic elements like control statements, Arrays and Strings.
• To solve the memory access problems by using pointers.
• To understand about the dynamic memory allocation using pointers which is essential for utilizing memory.
• To understand about the code reusability with the help of user defined functions and pointers.
• To develop advanced applications using enumerated data types, function pointers and nested structures.
• To learn the basics of file handling mechanism that is essential for understanding the concepts in database management systems.
• To develop programs using command line arguments.
• To understand the uses of preprocessors and various memory models.
