This unit develops foundational C programming skills including syntax, data types, operators, control flow, functions, arrays, strings, and input/output. Students will practice debugging, apply the programming process, and prepare to integrate these fundamentals into more advanced game programming concepts in subsequent units.
Learning Objectives
- Analyze C program syntax, ASCII/escape sequences, and operator precedence to identify and correct common coding errors
- Apply appropriate data types, variables, conversion specifiers, and formatted/text I/O to implement small C programs that perform arithmetic and string manipulation
- Demonstrate control flow and modular design by constructing programs with conditional statements, for loops, functions, and multidimensional arrays
- Evaluate program structure and user interaction by using command-line arguments, standard I/O, common math and string library functions, and basic structure types following the programming process and coding conventions
