Problem Solving Through Programming in C

This course is aimed at enabling the students toFormulate simple algorithms for arithmetic and logical problemsTranslate the algorithms to programs (in C language)Test and execute the programs and correct syntax and logical errorsImplement conditional branching, iteration and recursionDecompose a problem into functions and synthesize a complete program using divide and conquer approachUse arrays, pointers and structures to formulate algorithms and programsApply programming to solve matrix addition and multiplication problems and searching and sorting problemsApply programming to solve simple numerical method problems, namely rot finding of function, differentiation of function and simple integrationINTENDED AUDIENCE: BE/BTech in all disciplines BCA/MCA/M.
