Learning and teaching strategies

Assessment Strategies

The students will:

CO57. Apply the concept of arrays in real life scenarios

CO58. Assess the use of structures, union and bit level manipulations.

CO59. Implement Programs with pointers and arrays, perform pointer arithmetic and use the pre-processor

CO60. Investigate the utility of user defined function for modular programming

CO 61. Apply file handling concepts to manage user data.

Approach in teaching:

Interactive Lectures, Discussion, Tutorials, Reading assignments, Demonstration.

 

Learning activities for the students: Self-learning assignments, Effective questions,   Seminar   presentation, Giving tasks

Class test, Semester end examinations, Quiz,              Solving problems in tutorials, Assignments, Presentation

Unit I: 
Revision of C Basics.
Arrays: One dimensional arrays: array manipulation; searching, insertion, deletion of an element from an array; finding the largest/smallest element in an array; two dimensional arrays, addition/multiplication of two matrices, transpose of a square matrix; null terminated strings as array of characters, Sorting arrays (Bubble Sort), Searching (Linear, Binary Search), Multiple- Subscripted Arrays.
9.00
Unit II: 
Functions: top-down approach of problem solving, modular programming and functions, prototype of a function: parameter list, return type, function call, block structure, passing arguments to a function: call by reference, call by value, arrays as function arguments.
Storage Classes and Scoping: Automatic, Register, External, Static, Scope of a Variable.
