A. Data Organization (~ 6 questions)

  2. Data Structures and imlementation techniques
  3. File Organization (eg. sequential, indexed, multilevel)

B.Program Control (~ 6 questions)

  1. Iteration and Recursion
  2. Functions, Procedures and exception handlers
  3. Communication and synchronization

C. Programming languages and notation (~ 6 questions)

  1. Constructs for data organization and program control
  2. Scope, binding and parameter passing
  3. Expression Evaluation

D. Systems (~ 6 questions)

  1. Compilers and Interpreters
  2. Operating systems, including resource management and protection/security
  3. Networking and distributed systems
