Overview
DESCRIPTION:
C language logic and code structure; data types; scalars and aggregates; pointers and address arithmetic; files and devices; programming and debugging techniques.RATIONALE:
The course is intended to provide students with an understanding of the basic elements of the C programming language by analysing several programming techniques. It is an excellent preparation for advanced courses in computing or graduate work in computer science.LEARNING OUTCOMES:
As a result of taking this course, the student should be able to:
1. Identify syntax and semantics of C language.
2. Make use of data structures and program control.
3. Demonstrate understanding of how to compile and debug C programs.
4. Demonstrate understanding of arithmetic and memory allocation in simple C programs.
5. Identify and explain composite data types.METHOD OF TEACHING AND LEARNING:
In congruence with the teaching and learning strategy of the college, the following tools are used:
• Lectures and class discussions. Laboratory practical sessions and programming problem solving.
• Office hours held by the instructor to provide further assistance to students.
• Use of the online content management system (Blackboard CMS) to further facilitate communication, by posting lecture notes, assignment instruction, announcements, and online submission.
