Objective : The objective of this course are to make the student understand programming language, programming, concept of loops, reading a set of data stepwise refinement, function, control: structure and arrays, After Completion of this course the student is expected to analyze the real life problem and write a program in ‘C’ language to solve problem. The main emphasis of the course will be on problem solving aspect that is developing proper algorithms.

Examination : The external examination will be of 50 marks. The question paper will contain questions equally distributed in all units. The balance will be maintained by including appropriate (numerical/objective/conceptual/analytical/theoretical) combination of subsection in each question.
