Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani Work-Integrated Learning Programmes Division First Semester 2010-2011 Course Handout Course Number Course Title : TA ZC142 : Computer Programming

Course Description Elementary computer organization; introduction to Number Systems; Representation of integers; real numbers and characters on computers; concept of range and accuracy Arithmetic Overflow; Algorithms and algorithm development; Structured program development through stepwise refinement. Introduction to C language; Functions; Recursion; Data Structure and algorithms; File management and file handling; Problem solving using C. Scope of the course This course uses a bottoms approach to teach a beginner what a computer is and how it can be programmed. The course starts with basic building blocks required to understand the structure of a computer: numbers, bits, structures to implement operations on numbers and structures to control the execution of commands by a computer. The course concludes with the introduction of programming as a framework for problemsolving, program constructs as tools for problem solving and programming techniques as strategies for problem solving. Objectives of the course • • • • To understand the logical structure of a digital computer. To understand the concept of an instruction and the concept of programming using instructions. To understand problem solving using computers: arriving at solutions, specifying solutions as algorithms and implementing algorithms as programs. To use programming language (C) as the means of problem solving.

Computers of any kind will not be allowed inside the exam hall. Use of calculators will be allowed in all exams. No exchange of any material will be allowed.

Note:
It shall be the responsibility of the individual student to be regular in maintaining the self study schedule as given in the course handout, attend the online/on demand lectures as per details that would be put up in the BITS WILP website www.bits-pilani.ac.in/dlp-home and take all the prescribed components of the evaluation such as Mid Semester Test and Comprehensive Examination according to the Evaluation Scheme given in the respective Course Handout. If the student is unable to appear for the Regular Test/Examination due to genuine exigencies, the student must refer to the procedure for applying for Make-up Test/Examination, which will be available through the Important Information link on the BITS WILP website on the date of the Regular Test/Examination. The Make-up Tests/Exams will be conducted only at selected exam centres on the dates to be announced later.
