In addition to Part-I (General Handout for all courses appended to the time table) this
portion gives further specific details regarding the course:
Course Number : CS F111
Course Title : Computer Programming
Instructor-In-Charge : Dr. Nikumani Choudhury (

Instructors : Dr. Aritra Mukherjee, Dr. Abhijit Das, T Prathyusha, S Shashank,
Kalakanda Rahul Roy Munna, Praneeta Krishnaprasad Maganti,
Afrin Alam.
Scope and Objectives of the Course:
This is an introductory course to computers and programming. The language used to
explain the concepts is preferably C. This course uses a bottom-up approach to teach the
beginners what is the structure of a computer and how it can be programmed. It also covers
adequate knowledge of Number systems. The course starts with the process of creating or
developing algorithms/ flowcharts for solving different types of problems using a
Computer. At a later stage, it covers programming constructs used in most languages like
C, C++, etc. including data types, variables, operators, input/output, decision making,
loops, arrays, functions, structures, dynamic memory allocations, file handling. Students
also get hands on experience C programs in the laboratory.
The primary objectives of the course are to introduce:
Basic representation of data and how to process this data using different types of
storage representations inside a computer.
Algorithm development for different tasks to be executed on a Computer and
programming these using the high-level languages.
