| Course Description |
In this course, students will develop fundamental programming skills using the C language. The course introduces core programming concepts, including control structures, functions, arrays, pointers, and file input/output. Emphasis is placed on problem-solving, modular program design, and memory management. Students will apply the concepts learned through hands-on exercises and a programming project, strengthening their ability to design, implement, and present practical software solutions. |
