Fundamentals of Computer Programming - Syllabus

This topic introduces the concept of programming languages, their importance, and brief history. It sets the foundation for understanding the basics of programming.

This topic covers the different types of programming languages, including procedural, object-oriented, functional, and scripting languages. It explains the characteristics and uses of each type.

This topic explains the role of a language processor, including compilers, interpreters, and assemblers. It discusses how they translate source code into machine code.

This topic discusses the different types of program errors, including syntax, runtime, and logical errors. It explains how to identify, debug, and fix errors.

This topic outlines the characteristics of a good program, including readability, maintainability, efficiency, and reliability. It provides guidelines for writing good programs.

This topic explores different programming paradigms, including procedural, object-oriented, functional, and declarative programming. It explains the principles and applications of each paradigm.

This topic covers the stages involved in the software development life cycle, including planning, analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. It explains the importance of each stage.

This topic introduces various system design tools, including flowcharts, data flow diagrams, and UML diagrams. It explains how to use these tools to design and develop software systems.

Branching statements are used to control the flow of a program by transferring control to a different part of the program based on a condition. It allows the program to make decisions and change its behavior accordingly.

Looping statements are used to execute a block of code repeatedly for a specified number of times. It allows the program to perform repetitive tasks with ease.

Conditional statements are used to execute different blocks of code based on a condition or predicate. It allows the program to make decisions and take different paths based on the condition.

The exit function is used to terminate the execution of a program. It allows the program to stop executing and return control to the operating system.

Break and exit are both used to control the flow of a program, but they have different uses and effects. Break is used to exit a loop or switch statement, while exit is used to terminate the entire program.
