Im Computer engineer ,,iv finished bs degree,, this book was my starting step to build my knowleg in computer field,, this book is used in our university for first year programming subject,, im still keeping this book its meens alot to me, i visit this site to view what the people r writing about this book and i was really dispionted i saw 1 star!,i think its desirve more , im using the 2nd edition this book include 14 chapters but i think the new edition include more,, its includs the data types,logical operators,loops,functions,arrays,pointers,strings,structures,data file,and other additional topics and introduction to c++,class,,in end of each chapter there is common errors,summury,exercises,, this book done the job and more for me,if u want to study go for this book,,this book can be learnd byself study,,dont waste time and money on other books this book is the best,,,

This book is a good guide book for beginners. It is great for classes in ANSI C, but not necessarily for independent study. It provides simple visuals, shows common programming errors, and has a great reference. In fact, for the lightly seasoned C programmer, this book does work well as a reference.The down falls of this book are the occasional editing errors, but if you can accept the few mistakes, then this book is okay.This book follows the ANSI C specifications and introduces common programming practices. If it were not for the slight aforementioned mistakes, this book would perfect.

Students in my class really agreed that this was a well written book. The many code examples were great in that they reinforced the reading material. Any of the source code errors in the examples that might have occurred during the printing of the book were easily fixed. You also have the complete source code available to you from the book's website, thus allowing you to clear errors in the examples. The text goes into the details of the code examples and into the details of the topics. For someone knowledgeable in C or with past programming experience, it might seem a bit wordy. But as in introduction to programming, it's wonderful. Excellent for self-study or for an Intro to Programming classroom environment.All in all, I thought this book was great.
