Straightforward overview of C 2 Mar 2002
By Dr. Lee D. Carlson - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
With their low cost and their wide availability in college bookstores, the Schaum's Outline Series has helped many students in the past decades. In technical areas, the books in the Series are noted for being example wizards, and therefore are also of assistance to instructors. In this book on C programming, the author has continued this tradition, and has produced a book that turns out to be one of the best ways to learn this language. C can be difficult and abtruse at times, particularly in the use of pointer arithmetic, in string manipulation, and in memory management, but the author, again through many examples, clears up nicely any nagging issues in writing programs in C. C is still heavily used in applications, particularly when performance is an issue, and only in recent years has it been seriously replaced by its descendant, C++. The material in the book is pretty standard, and no really imaginative uses of C are outlined, such as how to use C to do self-reference function calling or how to emulate functional programming using C. However, for one needing an introduction to C, or for one who is teaching C in the classroom, this book would be a good supplement if cognizance is taken of current programming standards in C.

Not updated to current ANSI standard! 5 Dec 1999
By Woody - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
The preface by the author suggests that the second (current) edtion reflects the current ANSI standard.

('The sample programs conforms to the ANSI C standard').

I found examples where it does not:

On page 294, the author states that 'an array within a function MUST be defined as a STATIC array so that it can be initialized'.

The are numerous examples which correspond the classic C but not the ANSI C:

Exmaples 10.14, 10.12..

A statement on page 215: 'automatic arrays can not be initialized" is not also correct'.

The back cover of the book suggests: 'if your goal is better comprehension or top grades. this powerful study tool [...] is the closest thing to a guarantee you will find anywhere'.

In fact, if your answers during an exam are based on the examples cited, you are expected to get a lower grade.

Too good 8 Sep 2002
By Vijay Krishna - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Easy to read, lots of examples, challenging exercise problems and programming assignments - you don't ask for much more. This book can be used as a textbook or as a supplement to another book on the C programming language.

You want C, you got C.
