Course Objectives
1. Basic understanding of computers, the concept of algorithm and creating the ability to analyze a problem, develop an algorithm to
solve it.
2. Write the program on a computer, edit, compile, debug, correct, recompile and run it.
3. The program coding techniques for the implementation of various real life problems.
Course Outcome
The course aims to provide exposure to problem-solving through programming. It aims to make the student understand the basic
concepts of a programming language. This course involves a lab component which is designed to give the student hands-on practice
with the concepts.
