Lab Objectives: This subject aims to provide students with an understanding of the role
computation can play in solving problems. The Course will be taught using C-Programming
Language.

1. Understand and use basic terminology in computer programming.

2. Use various data types in C programs effectively.
3. Design and implement programs involving decision structures, loops, and functions.
4. Design Implement Arrays , String, and Structure
5. Describe and utilize memory dynamics through the use of pointers.
6. Use different data structures and create/update basic data files in C.

Lab Outcomes: Learners will be able to

1. Illustrate the basic terminology used in computer programming.
2. Use different data types in a computer program.
3. Design programs involving decision structures, loops and functions.
4. Implement Arrays , String, and Structure
5. Describe the dynamics of memory by the use of pointers.
6. Use different data structures and create/update basic data files.
