2. Course Description:

C language still has its importance and popularity in the software industry, in spite of recent
development of several high level languages. It has an excellent support of high-level as well
as low-level functionality, which makes it suitable for many applications.

Concept of procedure –oriented programming can be well-understood and learnt with

the help of C language, which is also needed for implementation of functions and modules of
object-oriented languages like C++, Java etc. Hence C language is an ideal starting point to
learn programming.

This course provides students with a comprehensive study of the C programming

language. Classroom lectures stress the strengths of C, which provide the students with the
means of writing efficient, maintainable, and portable code. The lectures are supplemented
with lab exercises. This course will also help the students during their placement sittings, as
most of the companies test proficiency in programming using C.
3. Career Opportunities:

C is typically used for fairly low-level development. It is used in embedded systems,

which is often listed as a computer engineering position (rather than computer science, or
software engineering.) C is also used for device drivers and 'generic' low-level code like math
utility code for larger projects. C is still used for development of browsers, instant messengers,
server daemons, and network code.

4. Course Objectives:

To make the students to understand the basic concepts of programming language,

rules to be followed while writing a program and how to compile and execute C programs.
.
5. Course Outcomes:

At the end of the course, the students will be able to

CO1 : Interpret the basic programming concepts and syntax of C language

CO2 : Solve simple problems using C arrays and strings
CO3 : Apply modular programming concept of C to solve given problem
CO4 : Develop efficient code using memory allocation technique
CO5 : Create user defined data types and files to solve real world problems.
