Product Description
Product Description
Written by best-selling authors Al Kelley and Ira Pohl, A Book on C, Fourth Edition is a comprehensive tutorial and reference to C based on the ANSI C standard. The C language is demonstrated 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. New features in this edition include: a chapter on moving from C to Java; more programming examples; new and improved dissections; more thorough coverage of multifile programming, pointers, and recursion; and new and updated exercises; and an expanded appendix of standard library functions. In addition, there is more emphasis on Abstract Data Types, which provides the reader with a foundation for working with objects and facilitates programming in the problem domain.
From the Back Cover
Now in its fourth edition, A Book on C retains the features that have made it a proven, best-selling tutorial and reference on the ANSI C programming language. This edition builds on the many existing strengths of the text to improve, update, and extend the coverage of C, and now includes information on transitioning to Java and C++ from C.
Beginners and professional programmers alike will benefit from the numerous examples and extensive exercises developed to guide readers through each concept. Step-by-step dissections of program code illuminate the correct usage and syntax of C language constructs and reveal the underlying logic of their application. The clarity of exposition and format of the book make it an excellent reference on all aspects of C.

Customer Reviews
All in all this is a good introduction to C with a mathematical bias. Don't forget the exercises and don't expect it to be your only book on C!
This book is fantastic, simple explanations with good examples of how to make use of all the c features. Each section contains references to all the sections explaning relevant parts of example programs, so you can just jump in anywhere.
The one bad thing is it might teach you a few bad habits, but it is easy to use and understand
With a maths background I found the maths parts very easy to understand but there are some parts which may be difficult if maths isn't your thing (although they could probably be skipped without any harm).
It's a really really good book and gives loads of opportunities to learn a new subject area and get practise in it. The authors are very careful to point out areas of caution and to empahisise important points to remember. The summary at the end of each chapter gives a precise break down of what you've learnt.
I strongly recommend this book for anyone serious about learning C.
great for students saved my ass at the final exam and will save you'rs too
Listmania!
