C For Dummies 2nd Edition

Image

Welcome final attempt to understand the C programming language. Although I can’t promise that you’ll become a C guru after wading through this text, I can guarantee that you will

1.Know how to recognize a C program and, when one is grouped with an IRS Form 1040, the morning stock report, baseball statistics, and anything written in Braille, you’ll be able to pick out which one is the C program.
2.Be able to write C programs that no other publisher would let an author print in its C books.
3.Appreciate the following code, but be unable to use it at cocktail parties to impress your friends:
while(dead_horse) beat();  Find out how to speak in C Talk, which is the ability to look at character groupings, such as printf, putchar, and clock, and pronounce them as “print-f,” “put-kar,” and “see-lock.”  Have fun. I can’t really guarantee that last point. However, this book was written minus the sword of mathematics hanging over anyone’s head. Let’s leave stern programming up to those who fuss over Avogadro’s number and Fibonacci sequences and who debate the merits of how to indent their C program source code. Serious work is for the nerds. Fun happens when you read C For Dummies, 2nd Edition.
