recursion in ‘C’.
3: To impart knowledge about using arrays, pointers, files, union and structures to develop
algorithms and programs in ‘C’.
4: To impart knowledge about how to approach for dividing a problem into sub-problems and
solve the problem in ‘C’.
Course Outcomes (CO):
CO1 Ability to develop simple algorithms for arithmetic and logical problems and implement
them in ‘C’.
