Using a three-stage approach, this text introduces students to programming in C using the latest ANSI C standard. The first section explores those aspects of C which are found in most other languages, full working programs illustrate the points raised. The second section descrbies the features which are unique to C, including operators used with C. The use of the C language in designing packages and programs is examined in the third section. A full-length case study demonstrates most aspects of C, with shorter case studies featured in each chapter.
With the grace of "elements of style" Ken Pugh (well known for his column in the C users Journal and less well known for his ultra marathoning exploits) has produced an intuitive book in an over filled genre. Beginning with chapters on Datatypes and Operations, Control Flow, Functions, I/O, Arrays, Structures and Unions, he then introduces Pointers. He then revisits Datatypes and Operations building on time and, hopefully, some experience. He continues to build on old concepts and gently introducing new ones in a uniquely friendly and clear manner that is reinforced by code examples and self tests.
