Part 1: C Programming
Introduction:
History and features of C language
Importance of C in procedural programming
Role of compiler and interpreter
Structure of a C program
Writing, building, and debugging C programs
Basics:
C tokens (keywords, identifiers, operators, constants, variables)
Data types (int, float, char, etc.) and type conversions
Expressions and operators (arithmetic, logical, relational, etc.)
Control flow statements (if, else, switch, loops)
Functions (definition, declaration, parameter passing)
Input/Output:
Standard input/output functions (printf, scanf)
File I/O operations (fopen, fclose, fread, fwrite)
Arrays:
One-dimensional and multi-dimensional arrays
Array operations (traversal, searching, sorting)
Memory allocation and deallocation
Pointers:
Introduction to pointers and their relationship with arrays
Pointer arithmetic and operations
Dynamic memory allocation using malloc and free
Structures and Unions:
Defining and using structures for data organization
Understanding unions and their memory sharing concept
Preprocessor:
Preprocessor directives (#include, #define, etc.)
Conditional compilation for code adaptation
Advanced Topics (Optional):
Bitwise operators and manipulations
Command-line arguments and processing
Recursion and its applications
Linked lists and dynamic memory allocation
Part 2: C++ Programming
Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (OOP):
Key concepts of OOP (classes, objects, encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism)
Differences between procedural and object-oriented programming
Classes and Objects:
Defining and declaring classes
Creating objects and member access with dot operator
Constructors and destructors for object initialization and cleanup
Functions in C++:
Inline functions for performance optimization
Member functions and their access to object data
Overloaded functions for different functionalities
Inheritance:
Single inheritance and its implementation
Base and derived classes relationships
Accessing base class members through derived class
Polymorphism:
Function overriding and virtual functions
Dynamic binding and runtime method determination
Operator Overloading:
Overloading arithmetic, comparison, and other operators for custom behavior
Templates:
Generic programming techniques for code reusability
Input/Output in C++:
Standard Template Library (STL) for input/output streams (cin, cout)
File I/O operations with ifstream and ofstream
Additional Topics (Optional):
Exception handling for error management
Namespaces and scope resolution
Advanced template concepts
STL containers and algorithms
Project Work:
Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to apply their understanding through individual or group projects, solving real-world problems using C and C++.
