Description
An introductory course in C programming for the PC. Covering the C compiler, variables, operators, decision statements, iteration loops, arrays and strings.
Learning Outcomes
On completion of this module the learner will/should be able to;
1.
Explain the processes by which a C programme is compiled
2.
Write basic C programs with variables and arithmetic operators.
3.
Use appropriate C programing statements to control flow of execution in a C programme.
4.
Design C programmes that are modular.
5.
Exercise good programming practices in the design of Programmes
Teaching and Learning Strategies
It is proposed that a workplace engagement component will be introduced to this module via a guest lecturer from industry, an industrial site visit or a work-based assignment where possible.
