This edition fully reflects the latest C standard and contains current source code. It has been crafted to help students master C regardless of the platform they intend to use or the applications they intend to create -- including small-device and gaming applications, where C's elegance and speed make it especially valuable.

Kochan begins with the fundamentals, then covers every facet of C language programming: variables, data types, arithmetic expressions, program looping, making decisions, arrays, functions, structures, character strings, pointers, operations on bits, the preprocessors, I/O, and more. Coverage also includes chapters on working with larger programs; debugging programs; and the fundamentals of object-oriented programming. Appendices include a complete language summary, an introduction to the Standard C Library, coverage of compiling and running programs using gcc, common programming mistakes, and more.

This book is a comprehensive, extremely easy read by Stephen Kochan. I recommend it for any early programmer, and it serves as useful reference material for any experienced programmer. Readers are taken step by step through a learning process. They are introduced to new material constantly, and it is well explained so no one should have trouble getting through it.

One of the Best 29 Sep 2005
By Ari N
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Programming in C is probably the best introduction I've read to any programming language. It's the near-perfect example of how a computer book should be written, a pleasure to read, well-paced, challenging, addictive.

What's best with it, though, is that it has inspired great confidence in me. I *know* now that C is a language I can master.

So I've ordered K&R for a reality check. It should be arriving any day now.

THE BEST OF THE BEST 11 Aug 2007
Format:Paperback
This is the best book written on a traditional programming language I ever read in my life. I will be very grateful if Stefan Kochan is kind enough to write a book like this on C++ as well!!! I really want to make such a request.

My constructive criticism is that if he put simpler, but more mathematical and scientific, examples in his book (like Mrc Herniter in his Programming with MATLAB does), then it would be more suitable for someone like myself who is a PHYSICS student.
