Objective: The objective of this course are to make the student understand the programming language ,programming concepts of loops ,reading a set of data , stepwise refinements , Function, control structure& arrays. After completion of this course the students is expected to analyze the real life problems & 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 question equally distributed in all units. The balance of paper will be maintained by includingappropriatenumerical/objective/conceptual/analytic/theoretical) combination of subsection in each question.
