Advanced C Programming (Problem Solving and Data Structure using C)

Overview

This course imparts Problem Solving Skills in the participants using the programming language C. The course is crafted to help the participants in identifying the best solution for a given problem. Participants will be exposed to the implementation of various Data Structures using C programming language. Different kinds of data structures are suited to different kinds of applications, and some are highly specialized to specific tasks. The participants will be able to identify a better data structure that stores and organizes data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently in any given scenario and solve problems.

Pre-requisite Knowledge/Skills
