23CSE201 PROCEDURAL PROGRAMMING USING C Contents Course Overview Syllabus Text books and References Course outcomes and CO-PO Mapping Materials Lecture-1 Course Outcome CO1: Understand the typical programming constructs: data (primitive and compound), control, modularity, recursion etc. thereby to understand a given program. CO2: Analyze a given program by tracing, identify coding errors and debug them. CO3: Apply the programming constructs appropriately and effectively while developing computer program. CO4: Develop computer programs that implement suitable algorithms for problem scenarios and applications. Syllabus Unit 1 Review of Physical Computing, Understanding Arduino Hardware and Software Architecture - Verifying Hardware and Software – Loading and Running your First Program Introduction to C - Structure of C programs - Data types - I/O - control structures. Unit 2 Arrays - Functions - Storage Classes and Scope - Recursion - Pointers: Introduction, pointer arithmetic, arrays and pointers, pointer to functions, dynamic memory allocation. Unit 3 Structures, Unions and Data Storage - Strings: fixed length and variable length strings, strings and characters, string manipulation functions - Files and Streams - C Preprocessor - Command line arguments. Textbooks Jack Purdum, “Beginning C for Arduino”, Second Edition, APress, 2015.

Each function performs a specific task, and the program logic flows through these functions in a sequential manner. Key aspects Sequence, Selection, Iteration: Core components that direct the flow of execution. Modularity: Breaking code into reusable pieces for easier maintenance. Data and Procedure Separation: Keeping data and procedures distinct, unlike object-oriented programming. Global State: Use of global data accessible by any part of the program, which can be powerful yet risky. Examples: Includes languages like C, Fortran, and Pascal.
