</U>Current, accurate, and rich with example programs and diagrams, this consistently paced, comprehensive survey of the C programming language uses a general purpose, easy-to-understand approach that gives first-time programmers a solid foundation in the language that will enable them to move on to more advanced/reference type books with confidence. </U>Introduces the language at a level that is understandable by non-C programmers, progresses to intermediate level coverage, then finishes off with more complex concepts - with each topic building upon what precedes it. Presents a simple and consistent explanation of C language topics throughout, without sacrificing or omitting the difficult concepts or syntax, and complements explanations with meaningful figures and illustrations. Uses Notes</U> and Common Errors</U> icons to draw attention to the C language special features or programming errors. Provides complete source code and output results for all the program examples, and contains a real-world project at the end of the book.
