Certificate Course in Programming Language C

Certificate Course in Programming Language C

Objective:

Using the computer language C, this course teaches participants how to solve problems. The goal of the course is to assist participants in determining which solution is optimal for a particular issue. C is used to create networking protocols, virtual reality apps, automotive systems, and Internet of Things devices. Its applicability is also growing into new fields including cybersecurity, blockchain development, and quantum computing. C is still a foundational language in computer science and software engineering because of its large libraries and frameworks. It has many uses in a variety of sectors, making it a useful expertise. The participants will be able to recognise an improved data structure that efficiently stores and arranges data on a computer system for problem-solving and efficient application in a variety of scenarios.

C syllabus

Unit-1

Introduction to C Programming

• History and Evolution of C
• Characteristics and Features of C
• Applications and Importance of C

Variables and Data Types:

• Variables: Used to store data values such as integers, floating-point numbers, characters, and more.
• Data Types: Includes basic types like int, float, char, double, as well as derived types such as arrays, structures, unions, and pointers.

 

Unit-2

Basic Structure of C Programs

• Structure of a C Program
• Header Files and Pre-processor Directives
• Writing and Running First C Program

Functions:

• Modular units of code that perform specific tasks.
• Defined using a return type, name, parameters, and body.
• Can be called within the same file or across different files using function prototypes.

 

Unit- 3

Data Types, Variables, and Constants

• Primitive Data Types: int, float, char, double
• Derived Data Types: arrays, structures, unions, pointers
• Variable Declaration, Initialization, and Scope
• Constants: Numeric, Character, String Constants

Control Structures:

• Conditional Statements: if, else if, else, switch
• Loops: for, while, do-while

 

Unit-4

Operators and Expressions

• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational and Logical Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Increment and Decrement Operators
• Bitwise Operators

Operators:

• Arithmetic Operators (+, -, *, /, %)
• Relational Operators (==,!=, <, >, <=, >=)
• Logical Operators (&&, ||, !)
• Assignment Operators (=, +=, -=, *=, /=, %=)

 

Unit-5

Control Flow Statements

• Conditional Statements: if, else-if, else
• Switch Case Statements
• Loops: for, while, do-while
• Break and Continue Statements

Arrays and Strings:

• Arrays: Contiguous memory locations used to store multiple values of the same type.
• Strings: Arrays of characters terminated by a null character (\0).

 

Unit-6

Functions and Modular Programming

• Function Definition and Declaration
• Function Arguments and Return Values
• Function Prototypes and Scope
• Recursion and Recursive Functions
• Standard Library Functions

Pointers:

• Variables that store memory addresses.
• Used for dynamic memory allocation, array manipulation, and building complex data structures.

 

Unit-7

Arrays and Strings

• Array Declaration, Initialization, and Manipulation
• Multi-dimensional Arrays
• Character Arrays and String Operations
• String Handling Functions

Structures and Unions:

• Structures: User-defined data types that allow storing multiple variables of different types under a single name.
• Unions: Similar to structures but allocate memory for only one member at a time, allowing different types to share the same memory location.

Unit-8

 Pointers and Memory Management

• Pointer Basics and Declaration
• Pointer Arithmetic and Arrays
• Dynamic Memory Allocation: malloc(), calloc(), realloc(), free()
• Pointers and Functions
• Pointers and Structures

File Handling:

• Functions and operations to perform input/output operations on files.
• Includes operations like opening, reading, writing, and closing files using file pointers.

 

Unit-9

 Structures and Unions

• Structure Definition and Declaration
• Structure Members, Initialization, and Access
• Nested Structures and Arrays of Structures
• Unions: Definition, Declaration, and Use

Pre-processor Directives:

• Instructions processed by the pre-processor before the compilation process.
• Includes directives like #include, #define, #ifdef, #ifndef, #endif, and more.

 

Unit-10

 File Handling and I/O Operations

• File Operations: Opening, Reading, Writing, Closing Files
• File Pointers and Operations
• Sequential and Random-Access Files
• Standard I/O Functions: fscanf(), fprintf(), fgets(), fputs()

Memory Management:

• Dynamic memory allocation and deallocation using functions like malloc(), calloc(), realloc(), and free().
• Understanding concepts like stack and heap memory, pointers, and memory leaks.
