Objectives:

• To understand the various steps in Program development.
• To understand the basic concepts in C Programming Language.
• To learn how to write modular and readable C Programs.
• To learn to write programs (using structured programming approach) in C to solve problems.
• To make the student understand simple sorting and searching methods.

Outcomes:
