Synopsis
The authors present the complete guide to ANSI standard C language programming. Written by the developers of C, this new version helps readers keep up with the finalized ANSI standard for C while showing how to take advantage of C's rich set of operators, economy of expression, improved control flow, and data structures. The 2/E has been completely rewritten with additional examples and problem sets to clarify the implementation of difficult language constructs. For years, C programmers have let K&R guide them to building well-structured and efficient programs. Now this same help is available to those working with ANSI compilers. Includes detailed coverage of the C language plus the official C language reference manual for at-a-glance help with syntax notation, declarations, ANSI changes, scope rules, and the list goes on and on., This edition describes C as defined by the ANSI standard. This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. The book assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts like variables, assignment statements, loops, and functions. A novice programmer should be able to read along and pick up the language., The definitive reference guide to C programming from K&R for writing good code that works and is easy to modify Learn how to program in C from the developers of C, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. Intended for those with at least some experience with one other language (even if you are a novice), this book contains a tutorial introduction to get new users started as soon as possible and separate chapters on each major feature: Types, operators, and expressions Control flow Functions and program structure Pointers and arrays Structures Input and output This second edition of The C Programming Language describes C as defined by the ANSI standard and includes a reference manual that conveys the essentials of the standard in a smaller space for easy comprehension for programmers. "K&R is one of my favorite books. The style of the tutorial chapters is so deceptively light and simple and the manual so crisp. Much of C's reputation of simplicity comes from the clarity and great little examples from this book. My 1978 copy has lost its cover and my K&R2 is somewhat dog eared. Above all, K&R is a useful book."

    Excellent introduction to programming.

    I've learned tonnes from this book so far, has really inspired me to learn as much as I can about computing (I'm doing it as a hobby). C is a great beginner language to learn because it's a relatively small language that forces you to be very disciplined with your code, although it can be difficult to stick with it sometimes. Note that it doesn't touch on how to set up you compiler or actually compile programs, as these details are system-specific. If you're on Windows, you might want to look into the Visual C++ build tools (try googling visualcppbuildtools_full and you'll find a Microsoft blog entry that explains more).

    More of a collector's relic than a practical helper

    Very out of date, once you get past the basis Fahrenheit to celsius exercises an exact copy of the code means they won't compile, there are no completed useful codings, so not practical. You are looking at small snippets of code from the past which you will have to debug yourself. Not a book you can learn a lot from if you don't have a lot of spare time, sadly.

    Get started where it all began.

    I thought that starting with the book that defined our programming in the beginning was a good place to start. This book takes you through the different tasks, I have yet to finish it. I also have the C Answer book to go along with it as well The standard C library from the era. I want to get all the information I could. I first bought the kindle version but when you just want to read a bit or reference a previous section , nothing beats the physical edition IMO. My only regret is that I did not start when the book came out. Things would be so much different. Thanks for reading and pick up a book. Get the one pictured , as I have heard that the international edition is different and the pictured edition was recommend to me.

    For a book that is almost 40 years old, it was in good condition. It's a good read for studying how things were and how they came to be.
