| Chapter 2: Structure of a C program, Commenting, Identifiers. | ||||||||
| WEEK 2 | ||||||||
| Chapter 2: Data types, Variables, Literal Constants, Symbolic/Defined Constants | ||||||||
| Chapter 2 cont.: Symbolic/Defined Constants, Formatted I/O, Width and precision modifiers | ||||||||
| WEEK 3 | ||||||||

Chapter 2 cont.: Formatted I/O, Width and precision modifiers.
Chapter #3: Expressions(Operators and operands). Operator precedence. Assignment expressions. Simple assignments. |
|||||||
| Chapter #3: Assignment expressions. Simple & Compound assignments. Prefix and postfix (Undefined vs. Well-defined behavior example). Single and mixed data type expressions. implicit data type conversion. |
||||||||
| WEEK 4 | ||||||||
| Chapter #3 cont.: Mixed data type expressions. implicit, explicit (type casting),
and assignment data type conversions. Rounding, truncation using floor(), type casting to int, truncation in printing using precision modifiers. Chapter#4: Purpose of functions. Motivation - why? Factor – smaller is easier. Reuse - by you or others. Remove redundancy. Protect data - using the variable doesn't change its value. Top-Down design. Factoring: Each function does a single task (functionally cohesive). |
||||||||
| Chapter# 4: cont. Functions terminology.
Call / calling / called / Return. Parameter passing. Types of functions. 1- No parameters - no return value: ex. welcome() , menu_options(). 2- No parameters - with return value: ex. get_input(). 3- With parameters - with return value - Many math.h fx, sin(). 4- With parameters - no return value - printf(), display_results(). |
||||||||
| WEEK 5 | ||||||||
| Chapter#4 cont. Types of functions. 1- No parameters - no return value - welcome() , menu_options() 2- No parameters - with return value - get_input(). 3- With parameters - with return value - Many math.h fx, sin(). 4- With parameters - no return value - printf(), display_results(). | ||||||||
| Chapter#4 cont. :
What is permitted in main() Function: Local variable definitions, function calls and limited selection or repetition (to call functions). Parameter passing: 1- Pass by address. 2- Pass by address. Pointer operations. |
||||||||
| WEEK 6 | ||||||||
| Chapter#4 cont. Scope. Structure Charts. How to read a structure chart.
