Computer Concepts And Programming In C

Computer Concepts and C Programming

The book “Computer Concepts and C Programming” is designed to help the Engineering students of all Indian Universities. This book is written as per the new syllabus of the Visveswaraiah Technological University, Belgaum, India and it satisfies all the requirements of I/II semester students who aspire to learn the fundamentals of computers and C Programming. C is a structured programming language. This is most popular and a very powerful programming language. It is standardized and portable across multiple operating systems. C has been the most sought after programming language for developing the system software such as device drivers, compilers, parts of operating systems, interpreters for languages like Java, Prolog, etc. Among other popular programming languages like C++, Java and C#, C retained its position in software development activities. This book provides more than 100 example programs. All these programs are executed and tested on Borland C++ compiler and with the vi editor on UNIX. All the laboratory assignments are provided in Appendix–A. There are 150 multiple choice questions given for the readers to test their knowledge of C language.

Computer Programming in C for Beginners

This textbook is an ideal introduction in college courses or self-study for learning computer programming using the C language. Written for those with minimal or no programming experience, Computer Programming in C for Beginners offers a heavily guided, hands-on approach that enables the reader to quickly start programming, and then progresses to cover the major concepts of C programming that are critical for an early stage programmer to know and understand. While the progression of topics is conventional, their treatment is innovative and designed for rapid understanding of the many concepts in C that have traditionally proven difficult for beginners, such as variable typing and scope, function definition, passing by value, pointers, passing by reference, arrays, structures, basic memory management, dynamic memory allocation, and linked lists, as well as an introductory treatment of searching and sorting algorithms. Written in an informal but clear narrative, the book uses extensive examples throughout and provides detailed guidance on how to write the C code to achieve the objectives of the example problems. Derived from the author’s many years of teaching hands-on college courses, it encourages the reader to follow along by programming the progressively more complex exercise programs presented. In some sections, errors are purposely inserted into the code to teach the reader about the common pitfalls of programming in general, and the C language in particular.
