This book teaches disciplined, readable, and efficient programming in the C programming language (as described in ANSI 90), with an emphasis on solving the types of problems that are widely encountered by programmers. Follows three major basic C, efficient C, and other C topics. Covers the general layout of a C program, control structures, functions, the C preprocessor, and the use of C to achieve efficient programs. Explores the I/O library, UNIX programming, and an introduction to C++. For anyone needing an introduction to programming in C.
I never understood JKG's fascination with this book or why it was used in CS2430 / CS2330 (we ought to have given them Church's Introduction to Mathematical Logic, hardcopy of the SYSV man pages, and a party pack of trucker pills, sigh).
