Notes:

Source:

This course introduces the both theoretical and practical concepts of C programming language including introduction, basic elements, I/O, operators, control statements, arrays, functions, pointers, structures and unions, file handling, and graphics programming.

The main objective of this course is to familiarize students with different programming concepts using C programming language.

Laboratory works should be done covering all the topics mentioned above. Each topic must be followed by a practical session.

This syllabus follows the official BIM curriculum of Tribhuvan University. In case of any doubt or revision, the university's published syllabus shall be considered authoritative.https://www.fomecd.edu.np/syllabuses/BIM%202nd%20Semester%20Syllabus%202022.pdf
