About this title

Synopsis:

Teach Your Students How to Program Well

Intermediate C Programming provides a stepping-stone for intermediate-level students to go from writing short programs to writing real programs well. It shows students how to identify and eliminate bugs, write clean code, share code with others, and use standard Linux-based tools, such as ddd and valgrind.

The text covers numerous concepts and tools that will help your students write better programs. It enhances their programming skills by explaining programming concepts and comparing common mistakes with correct programs. It also discusses how to use debuggers and the strategies for debugging as well as studies the connection between programming and discrete mathematics.

From the Author:

This book is unique in many ways. 

• It is written based on research about learning: people learn from correct examples as well as mistakes. The book includes common mistakes and explains why they are wrong.  The book explains some subtle mistakes that can be difficult to detect. The book further provides systematic methods to prevent, detect, and remove these mistakes. 
• It is written for readers of different learning styles. The book has 123 figures so that visual thinkers can understand programming more easily.
• It provides thorough examination of recursion, a topic that is often treated superficially in other books. The book has many examples offering different views (code, stack memory, visualization) about recursion. The book also explains situations when recursion can be beneficial and when recursion should not be used.
• It teaches many programming tools, including debugger, visualization of data structures, test coverage, performance profiling, and detecting memory errors.
