Practical C Programming 3e: Why Does 2+2 = 5986? (Nutshell Handbooks) - Softcover
Book 6 of 9: Nutshell Handbooks
Synopsis
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(R) 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 teaches you not only 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 comes before ?: ). The practical programmer reduces these to two:
- Multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction.
