Problem Solving through Programming in C

Algorithms before syntax

This NPTEL course is a 61-lecture introduction to problem solving through C, from the IIT Kharagpur series. It begins with algorithms, flow charts and pseudocode before moving on to programming language concepts.

Topics

• Variables, memory, and the types of software and compilers.
• An introduction to the C language and functions.
• Assignment statements, arithmetic and relational expressions, and logical operators.
• Branching with if-else.

Because it is a lecture series, the course suits learners who prefer a structured academic pace and are happy to work through problems alongside each lecture.
