Programming Fundamentals using C Notes Unit 1 – 5
Unit 1: Introduction to Computer Fundamentals
“Computer Fundamentals” refers to the basic concepts and components that make up a computer system.
Unit 2: Introduction to 'C' Language
The “C programming language”, developed by Dennis Ritchie in the early 1970s, is a powerful, general-purpose language known for its efficiency and control over system resources.
Unit 3: Arrays and Functions
“Arrays and functions” are fundamental concepts in programming. An array is a data structure used to store multiple elements of the same data type in a contiguous block of memory.
Unit 4: Pointers
“Pointers” are variables that store the memory address of another variable, allowing direct access and manipulation of memory.
Unit 5: Structure and Union
“Structures and unions” are user-defined data types in languages like C and C++ that allow grouping different types of variables under a single name.
