C. for Programmers: Complete Tutorial Based on the ANSI Standard (Series: Wiley Series in Computing)

Among modern popular programming languages, C is the most professional. A great number of excellent C compilers are available; these produce efficient code and run under many operating systems on almost all computers, from micro to mainframe. In a clear and concise way C for Programmers explains the language for those readers who already have some elementary knowledge of computers, programming and mathematics. All aspects of C are thoroughly discussed and are illustrated by simple examples. At the end of each chapter more advanced complete programs demonstrate how C can be used for applications that involve useful programming techniques, such as fast searching and sorting, dynamic data structures, and direct access to files. Written by an author with substantial practical and teaching experience C for Programmers is intended as a textbook but will be invaluable to all users of C and to those programmers and enthusiasts familiar with other languages who wish to exploit the advantages of this language.
