Whether you are a beginner looking to learn programming from scratch or an experienced developer seeking to enhance your skills, this course will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to write efficient and effective C programs.

Section 1: Fundamentals of C Programming

This section introduces the basics of C programming, starting with the history and significance of C. Students will learn about data types, variable declarations, and the overall structure of a C program. The section also covers basic input/output functions and control structures such as if-else statements, switch-case, loops (while, do-while, for), and the use of break and continue statements. By the end of this section, students will be comfortable writing simple C programs and controlling program flow.

Section 2: Advanced C Programming Techniques

Building on the fundamentals, this section delves into more advanced topics. Students will explore the use of operators, including logical and unary operators, and will solve problems using these operators. This section also covers arrays, pointers, and functions in great detail. Students will learn how to manipulate data using one-dimensional and two-dimensional arrays, perform pointer arithmetic, and implement various function types, including passing arrays to functions and returning values from functions. Case studies and practical examples will help solidify these concepts.

Section 3: C Programming on Linux

This section focuses on developing C programs in a Linux environment. Students will learn how to install and use the GCC compiler, understand GCC architecture, and explore various compiler options. The section covers the stages of compilation, variable types, arithmetic operators, control loops, and functions, with practical exercises to reinforce learning. By the end of this section, students will be proficient in writing, compiling, and debugging C programs on Linux.

Section 4: Project on C and POP – Online Exam Portal

In this project-based section, students will apply their C programming skills to create an online exam portal. They will learn how to create a menu-driven interface, implement various functions for saving and retrieving data, and understand score generation and output. This hands-on project will provide practical experience in developing a complete application using C.

Section 5: Project on C Programming – Payroll Processing

This section involves developing a payroll processing system. Students will create modules for the main menu, monthly transaction processing, and pay slip generation. This project will help students understand the application of C programming in real-world business scenarios, reinforcing their understanding of data management and processing.
