Course Objectives:
The object of this course is to acquaint the students with the basic principles of programming and development of
software systems. It encompasses the use of programming systems to achieve specified goals, identification of
useful programming abstractions or paradigms, the development of formal models of programs, the formalization of
programming language semantics, the specification of program, the verification of programs, etc. the thrust is to
identify and clarify concepts that apply in many programming contexts:

Laboratory:
Laboratory work at an initial stage will emphasize on the verification of programming concepts learned
in class and use of loops, functions, pointers, structures and unions. Final project of 10 hours will be
assigned to the students which will help students to put together most of the programming concepts
developed in earlier exercises.
