Hi,
I am doing C right now.I mean, mostly myself,from book and online help but I just wanna know that how much of C is taught till the end of 1st semester in BCA? I mean, what can a person learn after he passes the 1st sem of BCA?
Thanks you

how much you will learn C after your BCA 1st semester, it will depend on you and on your institution.

if your institution is good enough and your class teacher is also good then you may learn a good course on C. but if your institution is not so much good and also you have less interest to learn any subject from your college then you may not learn C at all.

i think you should do a courses from other private institution if you want learn C very well parallely. because institution is not sufficient to complete all the syllabus of C. so you have to learn it either by own or from other institution or you have to take assist from other teacher out of the class.

best wishes.

hi!

Different institutes offering BCA course have different syllabus. But more or less they all teach the same thing. How much C language you will learn by the end of BCA 1st semester will depend up on the institute from where you are pursuing BCA. Generally in BCA they will teach you the basics, you will get to learn the finer aspects in MCA.

To know about how much C language you will learn in BCA you can go through the syllabus.

If you are interested in studying C language then you should do a certificate course in C language.

It depand on your syllabus of 1st sem of BCA.
Good to see that you are preparing C self.
As far as knowledge of C has been concern it depands on you how much you can gain during this period of 1st sem.
Try to prepare as much as you can.

C programming for BCA student is very important so i want to suggest you that you should have knowledge of C and it is helpful for you in interview and also written test of campus placement.advantages given below.
1- it,s help you in written test and interview
2- it's help you in MCA.
3-it's base of all other programming.

Thanks you

C portion in BCA first year first sem.
1.Logic Development Using Programming Language– ‘C’
from basic c to Pointers
2.Database Management System
you will also having DMS but its nothing to do with deep 'c'

Thank you all for your replies I am trying to learn as much as I can

If you need to understand the C language you need to have minimum basics of the subject.

You will be taught C in the first semester which majorly consist of the topics to be taught to a beginner.

But if you neglect these basic concepts then you will never understand this language nor you can design your own program through C language.If you have the minimum basic part then its easy to go through it.

It even depends upon your institute where you are taking up the course .

all the best

Dear friend,
I am also a technical student like you but i am senior.
I will suggest you to clear your concept in C language and also practice some programme like check even odd, prime or not,reverse number, palindrome or not, stars triangle, pascle triangle, Array,matrixes etc...
I will suggest you some books
1. Let us C - kannitkar this is for beginer
2.C - Balaguruswami Standard book
3.c - gODFREAD High level
4.c harbart scheldt Very high standard...

Thanks .. I am reading "Let us C" and it's a great book,exactly what I needed. Thanks for all your help

hello dear
look it totally depends on the tutor/ lecturer + student if any tutor teaches properly and student grasp it and after grasping he/ she is doing regular practice
than C language is no more tough and it is very interesting.

but if either your tutor is not good or if you are not practicing what a tutor is teaching than it will be very hard now when it comes to college level it totally depends on your subject teacher whether he want to give real knowledge of his subject or if he is just following university syllabus than it will be very hard to completely learn the language like C.

as per my personal suggestion i would like to suggest you to join any capsule course for C any practice as much as you can do because practice is only thing which derides your programming skills .

all the best

In the 1st semester you will learn about keywords,various looping techniques,arrays,pointers,structures,functions etc.

1)how much C programming will be taught in 1st SEM BCA?

*Basic of C and ends with LINK LIST,STACK

2)your Knowledge after 1st SEM in C?

*Depends on your Interest on C program. and check your syllabus

Best of luck

It depends on you and your faculty........but any way self study is a great concept.......keep it up

Given threepoint (x1,y1), (x2.y2)&(x3,y3), write a program to check if all the three points fall on one straight line.

dear

in 1st sem. it is not so much of hard

it is similar to c++

so don't worry

good day

its totally depend on your institute and you.
most of the institute starts from 0 level and in most places starts from high level and 50 % depend on your learning skills.how much they deliver and how much you get out of this

hi dear,


As according to my view better to learn C from starting because c in base of every langauge you must have good command over c langauge .....

Because I don't think so BCA class is enough for C classes but it is also depend on your institude or college

Learn C language from your self or from the good institude good luck..........

it's not a way that here i will write one C program. but i am giving you some way through which you may able to write this program. here i am not discussing about the basic part i am just telling you how you will think on this problem.


to solve this problem you have to make one general equation in two dimensional field. now the three points fall on it. so the three points must satisfy the equation. first take one general equation with constant put x1,y1 on it and next x2,y2 and try to eliminate one constant from the equation. then put x3,y3 and eliminate the other constant. then you will get the value of constant by the three point. put in the equations the value of constant. i think you understand my logic. refer to any good book for more help. if you have not understand the logic send me message or give your email id i will try to send you the complete solution. but before that please try yourself.

best wishes.

Thanks you

how much you will learn entirely depend upon the quality of your institution and you labour and sincerety.
c language is considered the basic language for software designing so it's not difficult .don't try to remember the syntax, just practice more and more ,you will automatically remember all the things . refer your teacher if you face problem.books are also good medium for clearing your concepts.


good luck

Hi,

The thing is that only basic will be taught and then you will be reading it at the time of campus interview and during projects in companies if required.
The main part consists of arrays,functions, matrix operations and structure.

you can learn some basics of c lang as the syllabus includes pointer stucture array ............. but depth of learning is depend on you .even you can clear your exam by knowing some limited no of program.

dear friend
c is basic language that is mainly the base to learn the other programing languages.
in your 1st sem you can learn much more you you have to give some time yourself to learn "c" that give help to get a good job

You can studied the C language as the learn by colleges and the basic concept of C language is done by the book "LET US C".

how many programs are there for 1st semister and what are they?

brother kindly please tell me "which colleges still offering B.C.A under osmania university"
please brother its urjent................i am also studing b.c.a in kakatiya univercity and i want to change to osmania university........so,please tell me which colleges still offering B.C.A

how much you will learn C after your BCA 1st semester, it will depend on you and on your institution.

if your institution is good enough and your class teacher is also good then you may learn a good course on C. but if your institution is not so much good and also you have less interest to learn any subject from your college then you may not learn C at all.

i think you should do a courses from other private institution if you want learn C very well parallely. because institution is not sufficient to complete all the syllabus of C. so you have to learn it either by own or from other institution or you have to take assist from other teacher out of the class.
thanks

Arrays, Structures, Pointers, Unions, Functions, File interfacing.

In 1st semester C programming is not tough if you have basic knowledge.
If you have Computer Science subject in 12th standard then thats all.You are top in the 1st semester of BCA.because maximum same syllabus is their which you learn in 12th.

Actually nothing to worry about! programming, which I do for a living, is like learning a simple language. you probably have a vocabulary of ten thousand to one hundred thousand words or more! In c programming you'll maybe learn fifty or one hundred more. the rest of it is about variables, counting and testing conditions.

I first semester you will learn only the basics : variables,comments,looping,file etc
When you are doing MCA you will learn more about dynamic memory allocation, data structures such as stack, queue, trees etc

does anybody have bca first year notes of all subject ?

in starting of the sem only basic concepts are being cosidered.
these are the main basis.
these are the books which may help in increase your knowledge.
Let us C - kannitkar this is for beginer
2.C - Balaguruswami Standard book

Dear friend it depends on your college , as BCA doe's not have a universal syllabus so colleges decides there own , but my friend i will suggest you to learn as much as possible , because it is very important to know C and it will matter your job also.

Its not as hard as you think.I know its very hard to understand a programming

language first time.Its your initial step to learn a programming language so its

difficult for you.If you have problem to learn c language then you can join an

intitute which helps you.Try to understand the language and focus on the

basics of c language.Do regularly programming.It will help you to learn c

language.


All the best

It truly depends on your college or the teacher teaching you C .Because it is not tough at all , if some one teaches you proper way .But it is the most important subjects .If you cant get c properly then you can face many problems to understand other languages .There is a book "Let us c " , which is so good for c learners .

thank you

I NEED BCA 1ST SEM QUESTION PAPERS OF WBUT ON C PROGAMMING OF PREVIOUS YEARS.PLEASE CAN ANY 1 TELL ME?

hi i need c language program whch i used me in my exam ht i can learn try me best in my exam

The 1st semester consists of basic concepts to make you familiar with the subject and the programming language.
the syllabus generally contains,
Introduction to the language,
Variables and tokens,
Iteration and other control structures such as decision
Functions and structs
and some register operations with pointers.

These will be very easy even if you pay slight attention to the topic.
Introduction to C - Balaguruswamy is a good book for beginners.

see the teaching totally depends on your interest and your teacher and college c is the foundation language for programming so it plays a key role in it...even if college doesnot teach you you should study it sincerely

does anybody have bca first year notes of all subject ?

i can do bca but i dont kno which subject is in 1st sem, can u help me
