一、課程說明 (Course Description)
<br>
<br>This course introduces students to structured programming of digital computers using the C language. It 
<br>takes a bottom-up approach by starting with a simple machine and building up the fundamental concepts 
<br>before introducing them in C, including data types, functions, structured control flow, input and output, 
<br>basic data structures, and macros. This course is intended for first-year students majoring in computer 
<br>engineering. No prior programming experience is assumed.
