सवाल

Which syllabus does this Programming Principles and Algorithms course follow?

It follows the common UP state university BCA syllabus (University of Lucknow pattern) for BCA Semester 1. If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university's syllabus and unit order.

Which language is used in this paper?

The paper is language-independent (algorithms, flowcharts, pseudocode); examples are shown in C so students are ready for Semester 2.

Will I get practice in tracing programs?

Yes. The trainer gives dry-run (trace table) exercises for loops, searching and sorting.
