This book's conversational tone and simplified learn-by-example approach stresses top-down design and modular structured programming with an emphasis on business applications. It walks readers step-by-step through complete programming examples in every chapter, from problem analysis, logic design, and program coding, to testing and debugging. Many introductory C topics are covered, including, Basic Concepts, Modular Programming, String Functions and Loops, Branching, Using Menus, Page and Control Breaks, Multilevel Control Breaks, Arrays and Sorting, and Sequential Files. For corporations which teach C and programmers who are interested in learning C.

Introduction to C Programming presents the C language at a level understandable to a new programmer, using the learn-by-example approach and a conversational tone. Examples of how the programming elements work simplify and reinforce the learning process. Complex topics have been simplified, providing an excellent introduction to learning C that stresses top-down logic design and modular structured programming with business applications.

New to this edition:

• Notes and tips have been added throughout each chapter. Found at the end of each sample program, they provide additional information about the statements and functions presented in the sample program, things to remember and look out for, coding tips, and traps to avoid.
• Expanded program dissections provide more details about how the programs work.
• A Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler now accompanies the book.
• In each chapter "hands on" tutorials allow the student to key in the sample programs and then run them. A set of questions follows each tutorial, designed to provide additional learning reinforcement.
