Computer Fundamentals and C Programming is designed to serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of engineering for the course on Computer Fundamentals and C Programming offered by all major technological universities. It caters to the needs of students of B.Sc. (Computer Science and Mathematics), BCA, and MCA. This book has been carefully developed to equip students with comprehensive knowledge of computer fundamentals and C programming so that they can develop programs on their own for various applications, ranging from solutions of algebraic equations to online test evaluations. The book offers detailed discussions on several important topics pertaining to C programming such as iterations, functions, arrays, pointers, strings, structures and unions, dynamic memory management and linked lists, preprocessor directives, applications of programming in C, and many more. Every topic has been supplemented with an illustrative program to aid in faster and effective understanding for the students.
- A Chapter Outline included at the beginning of each chapter highlights the topics covered
- Each chapter begins with fundamental concepts, which provide a brief overview of the topics discussed
