<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Written by the developers of C, this new version helps readers keep up with the finalized ANSI standard for C while showing how to take advantage of C's rich set of operators, economy of expression, improved control flow, and data structures. This 2nd edition has been completely rewritten with additional examples and problem sets to clarify the implementation of difficult language constructs.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This edition describes C as defined by the ANSI standard. This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. The book assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts like variables, assignment statements, loops, and functions. A novice programmer should be able to read along and pick up the language.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p> This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. It is the definitive reference guide, now in a second edition. Although the first edition was written in 1978, it continues to be a worldwide best-seller. This second edition brings the classic original up to date to include the ANSI standard. </p> <p> From the Preface: </p> <p> We have tried to retain the brevity of the first edition. C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book. We have improved the exposition of critical features, such as pointers, that are central to C programming. We have refined the original examples, and have added new examples in several chapters. For instance, the treatment of complicated declarations is augmented by programs that convert declarations into words and vice versa. As before, all examples have been tested directly from the text, which is in machine-readable form. </p> <p> As we said in the first preface to the first edition, C wears well as one's experience with it grows. With a decade more experience, we still feel that way. We hope that this book will help you to learn C and use it well. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Brian W. Kernighan</b> received his BASc from the University of Toronto in 1964 and a PhD in electrical engineering from Princeton in 1969. He was a member of the Computing Science Research center at Bell Labs until 2000, and is now a professor in the Computer Science Department at Princeton. He was a co-creator of several programming languages, including AWK, AMPL, and a number of tools for document preparation. He is the co-author of 10 books and some technical papers, and holds 4</p> patents. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2002. His research areas include programming languages, tools and interfaces that make computers easier to use, often for non-specialist users. He is also interested in technology</p> education for non-technical audiences. </p> </p> <b>Dennis Ritchie </b>was a computer scientist notable for his influence on ALTRAN, B, BCPL, C, Multics, and Unix.</p> </p> </p> </p>
