Course description and aims

This course provides the theory and practice for advanced procedural C programming, by means of lectures and exercises. The first half focuses on pointer variables, string processing, structures, and dynamic memory allocation, which lead to studying algorithms, data structures, and methodologies for producing a large program in the last half. Additionally, students are requested to fully utilize those knowledge and skills to implement large programs associated with practical information processing, such as solving puzzles and pattern recognition. It is desired that students are equipped with fundamental knowledge for C language through, for example "Procedural programming fundamentals (CSC.T243)".

Student learning outcomes

Students are requested to learn and use the following skills: a) producing C programs associated with pointer variables, structures, and dynamic memory allocation; b) selectively using the optimal algorithm and data structure (e.g., stacks, queues, linked lists, and tree structures) to solve the problem in question; c) programming techniques required for practical information processing tasks and debugging for large programs.

Keywords

Procedural programming, pointer variables, string processing, structures, dynamic memory allocation, stacks, queues, linked lists, tree structures, tree search, algorithms, data structures, complexity, and debug

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

Three time slots in one week consists of a single slot for a lecture and two slots for exercises related to the lecture.
