The introductory text to applications programming in ANSI C assumes no prior programming experience in C or any other language. Sample applications allow students to see the development of a complete C program. This edition includes a chapter on computer systems and program development to provide background for readers with no programming experience, and a chapter on advanced topics. Over 700 new section review exercises are presented, as well as more than 200 programming exercises.
