About this title

Synopsis

Designed for business UNIX C users with minimal experience in this fast-growing language, this easy-to-follow guide introduces you to C's statements and commands. All important information is clearly illustrated with useful examples and case studies - so, you will learn how to tackle real-world programming problems right from the start. Case studies reinforce ideas central to C's philosophy - modularity, portability, data structuring and abstraction, and reusability of code. This C programming guide includes detailed information on data structures, portability and efficiency, and the C preprocessor - a powerful tool for debugging and maintaining your existing programs.

Complete with many illustrations of pointers, data structures and algorithms as well as appendices describing the binary, octal and hexidecimal base systems, C Programming Language offers a diverse range of programs, including: interactive and display-oriented programs, including the game of life, an indexed data base and a histogram producer; programs for sorting and searching algorithms, including insertion-sort, quick-sort, tree-sort, radix-sort and sequential and binary search; programs for copying files, stripping duplicate lines, and counting words and line numbering and programs covering the standard-string library functions - plus alternatives to the standard library's input handling.
