Synopsis

Appropriate for introductory courses in programming.

The text takes a “learn by example” approach to presenting C programming. It introduces one or more “realistic” sample programs in each chapter that relate concepts by illustrating how the material may be applied to an actual programming situation. Each chapter demonstrates application of the program development process, from start to finish.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Introduction to C Programming presents the C language at a level understandable to a new programmer, using the learn-by-example approach and a conversational tone. Examples of how the programming elements work simplify and reinforce the learning process. Complex topics have been simplified, providing an excellent introduction to learning C that stresses top-down logic design and modular structured programming with business applications.

New to this edition:

• Notes and tips have been added throughout each chapter. Found at the end of each sample program, they provide additional information about the statements and functions presented in the sample program, things to remember and look out for, coding tips, and traps to avoid.
• Expanded program dissections provide more details about how the programs work.
• A Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 compiler now accompanies the book.
• In each chapter "hands on" tutorials allow the student to key in the sample programs and then run them. A set of questions follows each tutorial, designed to provide additional learning reinforcement.
