UNIT I BASICS OF C PROGRAMMING 9

Introduction to programming paradigms – Applications of C Language - Structure of C program - C programming:
Data Types - Constants – Enumeration Constants - Keywords – Operators: Precedence and Associativity - Expressions
- Input/Output statements, Assignment statements – Decision making statements - Switch statement - Looping
statements – Preprocessor directives - Compilation process
UNIT II ARRAYS AND STRINGS 9
Introduction to Arrays: Declaration, Initialization – One dimensional array –Two dimensional arrays - String
operations: length, compare, concatenate, copy – Selection sort, linear and binary search.
UNIT III FUNCTIONS AND POINTERS 9
Modular programming - Function prototype, function definition, function call, Built-in functions (string functions,
math functions) – Recursion, Binary Search using recursive functions –Pointers – Pointer operators – Pointer
arithmetic – Arrays and pointers – Array of pointers – Parameter passing: Pass by value, Pass by reference.
UNIT IV STRUCTURES AND UNION 9
Structure - Nested structures – Pointer and Structures – Array of structures – Self referential structures – Dynamic
memory allocation - Singly linked list – typedef – Union - Storage classes and Visibility.
UNIT V FILE PROCESSING 9
Files – Types of file processing: Sequential access, Random access – Sequential access file - Random access file -
Command line arguments.
