Chapter 1: Introduction to Programming

• Programming means giving instructions to the computer.

• A program is a set of logical steps called algorithms.

• Flowchart helps visualize program steps.

• Good programs must be readable, efficient, and modular.

• Computers follow IPO → Input, Process, Output.

 Chapter 2: Basics of C Language

• C is a procedural programming language.

• Every C program has functions (main is mandatory).

• Variables store data; data types define variable type.

• Operators perform operations → +, -, *, /, %, &&, ||, !

• Compilation converts human code → machine code.

 Chapter 3: Input & Output

• printf() is used to display output.

• scanf() takes input from the user.

• Common format specifiers: %d, %f, %c, %s.

• Escape sequences → \n (newline), \t (tab).

 Chapter 4: Conditions

• if is used when a single condition is checked.

• else handles the alternative case.

• Nested if allows multiple checks.

• switch-case used for menu-based programs.

• Important: Logical operators return TRUE/FALSE.

 Chapter 5: Looping

• for loop used when number of iterations is known.

• while loop runs based on condition.

• do-while loop executes at least once.

• break stops loop; continue skips an iteration.

• Nested loops used for printing patterns.

 Chapter 6: Arrays

• Arrays store multiple values of the same type.

• 1D → linear data, 2D → matrix-like storage.

• Common operations: Traverse, Insert, Delete, Search.

• Matrix addition & multiplication used in engineering.

 Chapter 7: Strings

• String = array of characters ending with '\0'.

• Common functions: strlen, strcpy, strcmp, strcat.

• Strings used in names, sentences, user inputs.

 Chapter 8: Functions

• Functions break program into small modules.

• Parameter passing: call-by-value, call-by-reference.

• Recursion = function calling itself.

• Storage classes: auto, static, extern.

 Chapter 9: Pointers

• Pointer stores memory address.

• * operator → dereference pointer.

• Pointer & array relationship is important.

• Used in dynamic memory and structures.

 Chapter 10: File Handling

• Files allow storing data permanently.

• Modes: r, w, a, rb, wb.

• Functions: fopen, fclose, fprintf, fscanf.
