Course detail

Computers and Programming 2

FEKT-BKC-PC2MAcad. year: 2019/2020

The course is focussed on the basic knowledge of ANSI/ISO C programming. Students learn to design algorithms solving assigned tasks, using appropriate data types or designing custom data structures together with implementation of the solution in ANSI/ISO C language. Algorithms for numerical and text data are presented, students are introduced with the standard libraries, working with files, pointers, dynamic memory allocation and creation of own custom libraries.
