 Unit 10. Files and file handling in C [4 Hrs.]
Concept of file, Opening and closing of file, Modes, Input/ output function, Random access in file, Printing a file

 Unit 11. Introduction to Graphics [3 Hrs.]

Laboratory works: This course requires a lot of programming practices. Each topic must be followed by a practical session. Some practical sessions include programming to:

  • Create, compile and run simple C programs, handle different data types available in C, perform arithmetic operations in C, perform formatted input and out put operations, perform character input and output operations.
  • Perform logical operations, create decision making programs, create loops to repeat task, sue different looping method.
  • Create user-defined factions, create recursive functions, work with automatic, global and static variables, create manipulate arrays and matrices (single and multi-dimensional), work with pointes, dynamically allocate de-allocate storage space during runtime, manipulate strings (character arrays) using various string handling functions.
  • create and use structures an files to keep record of students, employees etc
