Now in its fourth edition, A Book on C retains the features that have made it a proven, best-selling tutorial and reference on the ANSI C programming language. This edition builds on the many existing strengths of the text to improve, update, and extend the coverage of C, and now includes information on transitioning to Java and C++ from C.Beginners and professional programmers alike will benefit from the numerous examples and extensive exercises developed to guide readers through each concept. Step-by-step dissections of program code illuminate the correct usage and syntax of C language constructs and reveal the underlying logic of their application. The clarity of exposition and format of the book make it an excellent reference on all aspects of C.Highlights of A Book on C, Fourth Edition: New and updated programming examples and dissections-the authors' trademark technique for illustrating and teaching language concepts.Recursion is emphasized with revised coverage in both the text and exercises.Multifile programming is given greater attention, as are the issues of correctness and type safety. Function prototypes are now used throughout the text.Abstract Data Types, the key concept necessary to understanding objects, are carefully covered.Updated material on transitioning to C++, including coverage of the important concepts of object-oriented programming.New coverage is provided on transitioning from C to Java.References to key programming functions and C features are provided in convenient tables.

C by Dissection presents a thorough introduction to the programming process by carefully developing working programs to illuminate key features of the C programming language. This book presents the concepts of the programming process using the "dissection" method. Dissection is a unique tool first developed by the authors to point out key features of program code. It is similar to a structured walk-through of the code, with the intention of explaining newly encountered programming elements and idioms as found in working code. Each chapter presents a number of carefully explained programs, which lead the reader in a holistic manner to ever-improving programming skills. Right from the start, the reader is introduced to complete programs, and at an early point in the book is introduced to writing functions as a major feature of structured programming. This edition features expanded treatment of pointers, memory management, and recursion. It also takes into account the fact that many people are learning Java as a first language and then going to C, or vice-versa, and calls out those topics that present a challenge when making such transitions (e.g. i/o, data types). This book assumes no programming background and can be used by first-time computer users or by experienced programmers who are transitioning to C.

Written by best-selling authors Al Kelley and Ira Pohl, A Book on C, Fourth Edition is a comprehensive tutorial and reference to C based on the ANSI C standard. The C language is demonstrated with numerous examples and extensive exercises that guide readers through each concept. Step-by-step "dissections" of program code reveal the underlying logic of the programs and include in-depth implementation details. New features in this edition include: a chapter on moving from C to Java; more programming examples; new and improved dissections; more thorough coverage of multifile programming, pointers, and recursion; and new and updated exercises; and an expanded appendix of standard library functions. In addition, there is more emphasis on Abstract Data Types, which provides the reader with a foundation for working with objects and facilitates programming in the problem domain.

A Book on C: An Introduction to Programming in C

This significantly revised edition has been carefully designed to meet the needs of readers new to C. The reader moves easily through the fundamentals of C and on to its latest applications by means of a time-tested explanatory tool called dissection, first developed by the authors in 1984. Dissection, a pedagogical method similar to a structured, step-by-step walk-through, explains new programming elements and idioms as they are encountered in working code. Right from the start, the authors introduce the reader to complete programs, and at an early point in the text the reader learns to write functions, an important feature of structured programming. Highlights of the new edition *ANSI C used throughout. *Thoroughly tested code available via ftp and compatible with most C systems. *More extensive coverage of functions and pointers, which are typical stumbling blocks for the beginner. *Early coverage of multifile programs enables the programmer to write properly modular code and produce and use libraries. *Early explanation of simple recursion parallels its early introduction in beginning computer science courses.* Greater in-depth treatment of recursion reflects computer scientists' increasing use of C for implementing sophisticated algorithms. *Additional coverage of program correctness and type safety. *New section on two-dimensional arrays reflects the growing use of C by computer scientists and engineers. *New optional "Moving to C++" sections at the end of each chapter offer a preview of the C++ object-oriented extensions of C. 0805331492B04062001
