Readings/Bibliography
- Kernighan, Ritchie: , "C Programming Language", 2nd Ed, Pearson, 1988.
- H. M. Deitel, P. J. Deitel: "C How to Program", 8th Ed, Pearson, 2015.
Teaching methods
Examples and exercises will be conducted in the lab during the course. The course includes the use of a development environment for applications in C language mainly for PC.
Assessment methods
The assessment consists of a laboratory test that requires solving a problem by building a program in the C language in which you must demonstrate that you can actually produce an executable program.
Teaching tools
- Compiler (e.g. GCC, Clang)
- Debugger (e.g. GDB, LLDB)
- Integrated development environment (e.g. Visual Studio, XCode, CLion)
