Description

This course starts with introduction to computer based problem solving techniques like algorithms and flowcharts.The course covers basic as well as advanced features of the C programming language. Varied C programming topics like , data types, functions, control structures, pointers, strings, arrays and dynamic allocation principles are covered in this course. You will be able to write efficient C programs for a variety of problems at the end of this course.

Curriculum
