Time (per session): 55 Minutes Paper ID: BCA-202

Semester:II

Introduction/ Description:

1. Student must be aware about the fundamental of C with the basic knowledge of
programming.
2. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the C Programming environment.

Course Objective:

 To learn the implementation of the logic using ‘C’programming language.

 To ensure a smooth and successful transition to being a skilled C programmer.

Learning Outcomes:

After taking this subject, the students should be able to:

(1) Demonstrate real life application using common C features;

(2) understand the pointers and dynamic memory environment;
(3) Understand and solve problems involving array, pointers, and file handling concepts.

Attributes for all-roundedness

(4) Develop skills in problem solving using systematic approaches;

(5) Solve complex problems in groups and develop working in team.
