CSC 354 - Programming in C

Institution:

Rocky Mountain College

Subject:

Description:

On demand. 2 semester hours. The C programming language is nearly omnipresent and has been described as an "assembly language with improved syntax." C data types, reference operators and memory management, along with a remarkably broad library, has made C the language of choice for the implementation of operating systems, compilers, and most high-performance applications written since the mid-1970s. Most popular languages introduced in the past few decades (e.g., PERL, C++, Java) owe their syntactic and semantic construction to C, and fundamental C library functions have been incorporated in the common jargon of programmers, regardless of the language in which they work. This course provides students with an introduction to the C programming language with particular emphasis on C data structure definition and reference mechanisms, and those libraries that are used for I/O and operating system interfaces. This course has a substantial programming component with labs often replacing lectures. Prerequisite: CSC251. It is strongly recommended that CSC255 be taken concurrently with CSC354.
