A complete practical pathway in computational thinking, algorithm design and C programming. Learners progress from problem analysis, pseudocode and flowcharts to structured C programs, functions, arrays, strings, searching, sorting, records, file handling, debugging and a complete capstone project. The course combines theory, worked examples, guided practice, missions, practical laboratories, quizzes and teacher-reviewed submissions.
