This Curriculum introduces students to one of the most important foundations of programming: functions, variables, scope, memory layout, structures, typedef, pointers, pointer arithmetic, and dynamic memory allocation. Perfect for ICT, Computer Science, Programming Fundamentals, Software Engineering foundations, and CS1-level courses.

This lesson includes clear explanations, diagrams, code examples, memory maps, structure modeling, pointer behavior demonstrations, and practical applications, making complex concepts understandable for beginners.
