Practical C Programming
Practical C Programming
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 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. This book not only teaches you the mechanics of programming, but also describes how to create programs that are easy to read, debug, and update.
Practical rules are stressed. For example, there are fifteen precedence rules in C (&& comes before 11 comes before?:). The practical programmer reduces these to two:
* Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction.
* Put parentheses around everything else.
Contrary to popular belief, most programmers do not spend their time creating code. Most of their time is spent modifying someone else's code. This book shows you how to avoid the all-too-common obfuscated uses of C and also to recognize these uses when you encounter them in existing programs. You learn to leave code that other programmers do not have to struggle with. Electronic archaeology, the art of going through someone else's code, is described.
This third edition introduces popular Integrated Development Environments on Windows systems, as well as Unix programming utilities, and features a large statistics-generating program to pull together the concepts and features in the language.
