Book Overview

C differs from most programming languages in its use of pointers, functions, and files. For those learning C, pointers are the greatest source of confusion. The primary aim of this book is to provide working models of how pointers are used in C. Pointers are used differently with every programming feature and Introductory C, Second Edition, emphasizes how each new programming feature relates to the use of pointers to provide a thorough understanding of the applications throughout C.

Introductory C, Second Edition, offers a detailed explanation of Arrays in C over several chapters, describing strings, arrays of structures, multi-dimensional arrays, and arrays of pointers. The underlying implementation of arrays using pointersis described in detail with such features as pointers to elements, pointers to arrays, and pointers to pointers. File access methods using text and binary files are also given thorough coverage: character, line, formatted text files, and record binary files are described, and the implementation of file access functions is described in detail. This book will be of great use to programmers at all levels.

Why did someone write a book about C in the 90's?

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
The language has been around since the early 70's. Hundreds of books have been written about it. It took more than 20 years for someone to get it right. If you want to use C productively, you can't memorize syntax and start tossing code around. It will bite you every time, and you will spend endless hours trying to debug your programs by superstition. "Hmm. Maybe if I put a semi-colon there. . . ." When you understand it, you see why it's so powerful, and why it's been so popular. You might actually get to the point where you like C!! This is the best book about C that I have ever read, and I've read a number of them, if you want to get to the point where you understand the language. It's a shame that so many people had to learn the language without the benefit of this book.

Excellent Book on C

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is the best book on C language that I have ever come across. Pointers, Data structures and file management are very well explained. I would advise any one looking for in depth information on C , to go for this book. I really hope that the author comes out with books on C++ and Java.

A must read for every C programmer

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This books give you the inside out of the C programming language. The book explains all the features associated with C in a very easy to read style. The beauty of the book really comes into play when it explains the pointers concept in C, that is the heart of C programming language. A must read if you are scared of pointers.

Simply the best book on C

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
It really upsets me that nobody out there has placed a review on this book. First off, I have read many books on C programming, and I think that this book is definitely the best one. This book has thorough explanations on pointers, arrays, structures, linked lists, I/O controls, functions etc..(All the basic elements of C programming). The best part of this book is that the author explains the use of pointers through all the basic structures of the C language. This book also includes several chapters on the basics of the C++ language with the same accuracy and thoroughness. If you think that you'll find a better book than this one (which I doubt will ever happen) then feel free to drop me a line. We just have to thank the author for writing this great book (I wish there would be more books like this one).
