total marks is assigned from the practical. Some important contents that should be included in lab

exercises are as follows:

Unit 1:----2 Hrs.

Create, compile, debug, run and test simple C programs

Unit 2,3,4:----5 Hrs.

Using different data types available in C, perform arithmetic operations in C, perform

formatted input/output operations, perform character input/output operations.

Using relational operator, logical operator, assignment operator, ternary operator, and other

operators. Evaluation of Expression to check operator precedence and associativity.

Unit 5: ----6 Hrs.

Create decision making programs using control statements like; if, if..else, if..else ladder,

nested if, and switch cases.

Create programs using loops (for, while, do while, nested loops) and realize the differences

between entry controlled and exit controlled loops.

Unit 6:----6 Hrs.

Create, manipulate arrays and matrices (single and multi-dimensional), work with pointers,

dynamically allocate/de-allocate storage space during runtime, manipulate strings (character

arrays) using various string handling functions.

Unit 7:----6 Hrs.

Create user-defined functions with/without parameters or return type, create recursive

functions, use function call by value and call by address, work with automatic, global and

static variables.


Unit 8:----5 Hrs.

Create and use simple structures, array of structures, nested structure. Passing structure and

array of structure to function, concept of pointer to structure

Unit 9:----6 Hrs.

Create programs that addresses pointer arithmetic, pointers and arrays, pointer and character

strings, pointers and functions, pointer and structure, and dynamic memory allocation.

Unit 10:----5 Hrs.

Create files that address random access and input/output operations in file, create files to keep

records and manipulation of records etc.

Unit 11:----4 Hrs.

Create graphics program that address some basic functions of graphics.h header file, e.g.

line(), arc(), circle(), ellipse(), floodfill(), getmaxx(), getmaxy() etc.

Note: Motivate students to create small project work integrating all of the above concepts.
