The joy of C - Lawrence H. Miller

Why Postpone Joy? You could spend a lot of time looking around for the right guide to C and C++. Or you could just go ahead and buy the one you're holding right now and get a head start on experiencing the joy of C programming! This step-by-step companion takes you on a journey from novice to expert C programmer. It shows how exactly to write clear, concise C programs that are portable, efficient, and easy to maintain. Plus, you'll find hands-on, detailed coverage of C++ and objects, one of the most popular and flexible programming languages in use today! The Joy of C avoids contrived program fragments or incomplete coverage that leaves you confused and frustrated. Instead, you get a collection of useful programs that illustrate the features of C in a realistic way. Here's what else you get:

• A DOS-based disk containing all programs in the text so you can get immediate feedback on the programs you write.


• Complete program examples so you can avoid potentially confusing program fragments


• A checklist of potential trouble spots and likely errors to help you avoid mistakes and debug programs.


• Multiple versions of example programs that start simple then gradually expand as you learn how to use various language features to make the program more efficient.


• Case studies to show how to build big programs from small pieces.
