The book Programming for Problem Solving is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of programming using C, with a strong emphasis on problem-solving skills. The book adopts a step-by-step approach, beginning with the basics of algorithms and flowcharts, before progressing to core concepts of the C language. With clear explanations, illustrative examples, and practical exercises, it serves as an ideal resource for beginners in computer science, engineering, and related disciplines.
The text systematically covers operators, control structures, loops, arrays, functions, pointers, and advanced features such as structures, unions, enumerations, and file handling. Special focus is given to searching and sorting algorithms, enabling students to grasp essential problem-solving strategies. A dedicated Lab Manual provides hands-on practice, helping learners to strengthen their coding skills and translate theory into practical implementation.
Whether used as a classroom textbook or a self-study guide, this book provides a solid foundation in C programming and nurtures the logical thinking required to solve real-world computational problems.
