About this title

Synopsis

There are lots of introductory C books, but this is the first one that has the no-nonsense, practical approach that has made Nutshell Handbooks(R) famous. C programming is more than just getting the syntax right. Style and debugging also play a tremendous part in creating programs that run well and are easy to maintain. Practical C Programming teaches you how to create programs that are easy to read, debug, and maintain. Practical rules are stressed. For example, there are fifteen precedence rules in C (&& comes before || comes before ?:). The practical programmer reduces these to two:

• multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction

Electronic Archaeology, the art of going through someone else's code, is also described. In this second edition, program examples conform to ANSI C. Covers Turbo C (DOS) as well as the UNIX C compiler.
