ECET 26400 - C Programming Language Applications

Examination of fundamental principles and issues in embedded applications: instrumentation, data acquisition, robots, and real-time systems. Overview of the C programming environment. Introduction to C language syntax, basic data types, complex data types (pointer, array, structure, bit fields, union, enum) storage classes, operators, preprocessor directives, macros, functions, flow control, and file I/O. Programming using a structured approach. Emphasis on use of mathematical functions (routines) libraries and numerical algorithms needed in embedded applications.
