Synopsis

Already the best introduction to C programming, the new focus and coverage in A Book on C, 3rd Ed. adds an object-oriented dimension that ensures the book's market-leading status for years to come. This revised edition provides more programming examples and more "dissections" than ever before. Additionally, the authors have placed an increased emphasis on modules and ADTs.

From the Back Cover

A fourth edition of A Book on C is now available.

The third edition of this classic text from the best-selling authors Al Kelley and Ira Pohl offers a comprehensive tutorial and reference to C based on the ANSI C Standard. A Book on C is perfect for students learning C or for programmers working in industry who need a clearly-written resource on the language. The authors demonstrate the C language 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. This new edition also follows the trend toward C++ and object-oriented methodologies by building transitions to these paradigms within the coverage of C programming. Features

* Includes new Programming examples and "dissections," the authors' trademark technique for illustrating and teaching language concepts.
* Incorporates a new emphasis on Abstract Data Types, building the foundation for understanding objects.
* Offers a new organization which facilitates the use of C to learn C++ and object-oriented techniques.
* Includes a new chapter on C++ that prepares the reader for the transition to C++ and the important concepts of object-oriented programming.
* Offers a complete tutorial and reference to all C Language features.
* References key programmin functions and C features in convenient tables.
* Follows the latest ANSI C style.
