 Course Outcomes
CO1 :: discuss the various approaches towards solving a particular
problem using the C language constructs
CO2 :: write programs to solve different problems using C constructs
irrespective of the compilers
CO3 :: plan the process of code reuse by forming a custom library of
one’s own functions
CO4 :: complete the understanding and usage of one of the building
blocks of data structures namely pointers
CO5 :: categorize the theoretical knowledge and insights gained thus
far to formulate working code
CO6 :: validate the underlying logic and formulate code which is
capable of passing various test cases

• Programming Practice using IamNeo Platform
• Best 2 out of 3 Academic Task 50

• Programming practice is a compulsory requirement

ETP

• Will be conducted on IamNeo Platform

 Practice Problems

• In the Practice Problems marks are only for coding Problems.

• MCQs are only for practice.

Sequence locking:
• Student must complete all the problems of lecture 1, to start
the problems of lecture 2.

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

 Academic Task
1. Each Academic task will contain 2 coding questions and
10 MCQs
2. The weightage of programming practice which is spread
across 150 problems with 25 problems per unit will be
20%.

 Marks Calculation for Programming Practice

• In order to qualify for programming practice marks, the

student should solve at least 50% of the programming and
50% of MCQ questions (eligibility condition).
• The maximum marks out of 20 marks for which the student
would be eligible for Programming Practice would be based
on the Percentage of questions solved by the student.
• Example – If a student solves 105 questions out of 150
questions (i.e. 70% questions solved) then the student would
be eligible for 70% of 20 marks which is 14 marks (round up
would be used in case of decimal values).

 Marks Calculation for Programming Practice

• The final marks for Programming Practice would be

calculated by prorating the eligible marks for which the
student is eligible (as explained in the above point) with the
percentage of marks student has scored in the proctored
Coding Contests conducted as CA’s (The final marks would
be round up for the students).
• Example – If a student solves 105 questions out of 150
questions (i.e. 70% questions solved) then the student would
be eligible for 70% of 20 marks which is 14 marks.
• And the student has scored 24 out of 30 in the CA’s i.e. 80%
marks in CA, his Programming practice final marks would be
80% of 14 marks that he was eligible for which is 11.2
rounded up to 12 marks out of 20 for Programming Practice.

 What are Cohorts

• A group of students of a common

programme who intend to attain
similar characteristics by means of
learning similar skills in order to
target a particular career
opportunity.

 Purpose of Cohorts
• Student shall be able to have a goal oriented
approach for his/her career
• Student identifies the goal in the very first year
• Student shall be able to follow the stage wise
career progression.
• Early identification of skill set required for
selected goal.

 Star Course
Hands-on Practice: A good course which include
interactive coding exercises to help you apply what
you've learned.

This course is a short bite-sized courses that help

students develop foundational-level knowledge and
skills in C Programming language. Although the
course is packed with high quality content that
helps students further with their learning and earn

WHY C???????????????

⮚If we have number of powerful

programming languages available
with us then why c??????

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

The hitch...............
Some burning questions in mind......
• C is a very old language. Why are we still
studying this language??????
• Now, we have very powerful languages with us
then, why c??
• There is no scope of this language in industry

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

Lets take you close to the reality
• All of us use Computers or Laptops for different
purposes.
• Could you tell me which system software is most
required to get our system in working mode??????

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

Let’s Explore more
• Could you tell me which programming language is
used in writing all these operating system??????

• Latest version of Microsoft Windows i.e.

Windows10 is still being written in C Language

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

Contd.....
• Device drivers are also written in C language.
• All these modern programming languages are
influenced by C language

• Compilers for Python and PHP language are also

written in C language

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

Contd.....
• Embedded systems are also developed with the
help of C language

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

Contd.....
•Git

•Microsoft Excel

•Oracle Database

•MySql

•Linux

•Unix

•Android

•Google

History of C
• Guys Can you make a sentence with the word
‘Necessity’
“Necessity is the mother of invention”
• Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson were working
on developing a new operating system i.e UNIX
• But the programming language they
were using was not providing them
the portability feature
• So Dennis Ritchie developed new
language i.e C
© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming
History continued...

© LPU :: CSE101 C Programming

Why “C” name was given???
• Many of C’s principles and ideas were derived from the
earlier language B. (Ken Thompson was the developer of
B Language.)
• BCPL and CPL are the earlier ancestors of B Language
• CPL is Combined Programming Language. In 1967, BCPL
Language ( Basic CPL ) was created as a scaled down
version of CPL
• As many of the features were derived from “B” Language
thats why it was named as “C”.
• After 7-8 years C++ came into existence which was first
example of object oriented programming .
