Course Description

Computer components are divided into two major categories namely hardware and software. Hardware is the machine itself and its connected devices such as monitor, keyboard, mouse etc. Software are the set of programs that make use of hardware for performing various functions such as problem solving techniques, basic of c programming, array and string.

OBJECTIVES:

  • Define various terms related to computers – Computer, Hardware, Software, Firmware, High Level Language, and Low Level Language
  • To know the basics of algorithmic problem solving
  • To develop C Programs using basic programming constructs
  • To develop C programs using arrays and types of array
  • To develop C programs strings concept and String manipulate function
