Course Description:

C programming is a general-purpose, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis M.

Topics covered include: representation of integer and characterdata, bitwise operations, masking, memory allocation methods, pointers, dynamic data structures, file I/O,separate compilation, program development tools and use of debuggers.No courses required by the CS major, minor, or certificate may be taken pass/fail.
