SYLLABUS
UNIT I BASICS OF C PROGRAMMING 9
Introduction to programming paradigms – Applications of C Language - Structure of C program – C
programming: DataTypes – Constants–Enumeration Constants – Keywords–Operators: Precedence
and Associativity – Expressions – Input/Output statements, Assignment statements –Decision making
statements – Switch statement – Looping statements – Preprocessor directives – Compilation
process.

Introduction to Arrays: Declaration, Initialization – One dimensional array –Two dimensional arrays –
String operations: length, compare, concatenate, copy – Selection sort, linear and binary search.
UNIT III FUNCTIONS AND POINTERS 9
UNIT I BASICS OF C PROGRAMMING 9
Modular programming – Function prototype, function definition, function call, Built-in functions–
Recursion. Pointers – Pointer operators – Pointer arithmetic – Arrays and pointers – Array of pointers
– Parameter passing: Pass by value, Pass by reference.
UNIT IV STRUCTURES AND UNION 9
Structure - Nested structures – Pointer and Structures – Array of structures – Dynamic memory
