GSEB Standard 11 - Computer Science

Welcome to GSEB Standard 11 Computer Science! This is where your programming journey truly begins with C++ as the primary language.

Syllabus Overview

Standard 11 introduces you to structured programming with C++ and lays the foundation for object-oriented programming concepts you'll master in Standard 12.

Course Structure

Part 1: Programming Fundamentals with C++

1. Introduction to C++

  • History and features of C++
  • Structure of a C++ program
  • Data types and variables
  • Input/output operations (cin, cout)
  • View detailed notes →

2. Operators and Expressions

  • Arithmetic operators
  • Relational and logical operators
  • Assignment operators
  • Operator precedence
  • View detailed notes →

3. Control Structures

  • Sequential execution
  • Conditional statements (if, if-else, switch)
  • Looping statements (for, while, do-while)
  • Nested loops
  • View detailed notes →

4. Arrays

5. Functions

  • Function declaration and definition
  • Function call and return
  • Pass by value vs pass by reference
  • Recursion basics
  • View detailed notes →

Part 2: Computer System Concepts

6. Data Representation

  • Number systems (Binary, Octal, Hex)
  • Data representation in memory
  • Character encoding (ASCII)

7. Boolean Algebra

  • Basic gates (AND, OR, NOT)
  • Universal gates (NAND, NOR)
  • De Morgan's theorems
  • Logic circuits

8. Database Concepts

  • Introduction to databases
  • DBMS vs file systems
  • Relational database concepts
  • Basic SQL queries (SELECT, WHERE)

Programming Focus: C++

Standard 11 is entirely based on C++ programming. By the end of this year, you should be comfortable with:

  • Writing programs with loops and conditionals
  • Working with arrays and strings
  • Creating and using functions
  • Solving problems using structured programming

Exam Pattern

Theory Paper (70 marks)

  • Duration: 3 hours
  • Question types:
  • MCQ (1 mark each)
  • Short answer (2-3 marks)
  • Program output questions (3-4 marks)
  • Write programs (4-5 marks)

Practical Exam (30 marks)

  • Programming problem: 15 marks
  • SQL query: 5 marks
  • Practical file: 5 marks
  • Viva: 5 marks

Study Tips

For Theory

  1. Understand Syntax: Don't just memorize, understand why
  2. Practice Output: Many questions ask "What is the output?"
  3. Write Programs: Practice writing complete programs
  4. Revise Regularly: Programming needs consistent practice

For Practicals

  1. Type Programs: Don't copy-paste, type manually
  2. Debug Yourself: Learn to find and fix errors
  3. Maintain File: Keep practical file updated
  4. Practice Speed: Practical exams are time-bound

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Avoid These

  • Using void main() instead of int main()
  • Forgetting semicolons (;)
  • Not including header files (#include)
  • Confusing = (assignment) with == (comparison)
  • Not initializing variables before use

Prerequisites

  • Basic computer knowledge from Standard 10
  • Logical thinking ability
  • Willingness to practice coding

Next Steps

After Standard 11: - GSEB Standard 12 - Advanced C++ and OOP - Object-oriented programming - Complex data structures - File handling
