About

You will be able to

  • Write algorithms, flowcharts and pseudocode for simple problems
  • Write C programs using data types, operators, expressions and input / output
  • Use decision making and loops to solve problems
  • Use functions, recursion, arrays and strings
  • Use pointers, dynamic memory allocation, structures and unions
  • Read and write data files and use preprocessor directives

Who it is for

  • MCA students of Semester 1 (AKTU)
  • Beginners who need strong programming logic before Data Structures and Java

What you need

  • Graduation (BCA / B.Sc / B.Com / B.A) with Mathematics at 10+2 or graduation level (MCA admission)
  • A computer with a C compiler (GCC / Code::Blocks / Turbo C)

Questions

Which syllabus is followed?

The AKTU (Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University, Lucknow) MCA syllabus of Problem Solving using C (Semester 1). If your own university's syllabus differs, the centre follows your university syllabus and units.

Is lab practice included?

Yes. Every topic is practised with programs on the computer; viva-style questions on output prediction are also covered.

How will I be tested?

Unit-wise MCQ tests and a final paper at semester level, plus practice on short and long answer questions from previous university papers.
