Course Objective:
This course is written with the primary objective to introduce the C and C++ programming languages. C
is a practical and still-current software tool; it remains one of the most popular programming languages
in existence, particularly in areas such as embedded systems. C facilitates writing code that is very
efficient and powerful and, given the ubiquity of C compilers, can be easily ported to many different
platforms. Also, there is an enormous code-base of C programs developed over the last 30 years, and
many systems that will need to be maintained and extended for many years to come.

Course Outline:
Unit 1: Introduction to Computer Programming -- Programming and Programming
Languages, Flowchart, The C Programming Language, Identifiers, Symbolic Constants,
Declarations, Arithmetic Operations, Relational and Logical Operations. [4]
Unit 2: Branching and Iteration – If-Else, ?: Conditional Expression, Switch, While Loops,
Do-While Loops, For Loops, Break and Continue, Goto. [6]
Unit 3: Functions - Function Prototypes, Call by reference, Call by arguments, recursive
function, inline function.
[4]
Unit 4: Pointers - What is a Pointer? Pointer Syntax, Pointers and Arrays, Pointer Arithmetic,
Return Values and Pointer, Pointers to Pointers, Function Pointers, Dynamic Memory allocation.
[6]
Unit 5: Arrays and Strings - Array Initialization, Character Arrays and Strings, Strings and the
Standard Library, Arrays of Pointers, Multi-dimensional Arrays. [5]
Unit 7: Input and Output - Formatted IO: printf, scanf, string formatting; File IO: Opening and
Closing Files, Standard IO, Sequential File Operations. [5]
Unit 8: Object-oriented programming – Introduction to User define datatype, Fundamentals of
the object-oriented approach, introduction to class and its components, constructors, referring to
objects of a class, static members, classes and their friends, Introduction to STL and application.
