Describes the features of the C computer program language and provides step-by-step guidance on programming a computer in C for a variety of functions
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
As with all the editions, author Stephen Prata's aim has been to create an introduction to C that is instructive, clear, and helpful. Programming concepts are explained along with details of the C language; the book does not assume that you are a professional programmer. Many short, easily typed examples illustrate just one or two concepts at a time, since learning by doing is one of the most effective ways to master new information. Finally, review questions and programming exercises at the end of each chapter punctuate the most critical information and help readers digest the most difficult concepts. The text has been updated to accommodate the emergence of a new standard for C-C99.
Stephen Prata is a professor of physics and astronomy at the College of Marin in Kentfield, California, where, in addition to astronomy and physics, he teaches computer programming and discrete mathematics.

Professor Prata is a member of the American Astronomical Society and a former Fulbright Scholar. He has authored over a dozen books, including earlier editions of this book. Other titles published by this author include the C++ Primer Plus and Unix Primer Plus, also best-selling titles in their areas.
