Synopsis:
User Friendly Guide to
the C Programming Language
C is the programming language of the 1980s: it's fast, efficient, concise, structured, and easily ported to other computers. These and other powerful features have turned the computing world toward the C language in a major way: over 70% of all new personal computer software is being developed in C.
This book makes C accessible to anyone. Styled after the successful Waite Group "Primer" books, C Primer Plus offers everything you need to start using this exciting language.
Why C? C is a structured language like Pascal, but it's faster, and easier to interface to the hardware "soul" of your computer. This feature has made C the language of choice for developing word processors, spreadsheets, graphics drivers, operating systems, and computer languages-where speed is of primary importance. Furthermore, with C, programmers can use abbreviated code and modular programming techniques, can easily transfer routines to different machines, and access a machine's hardware features.
C Primer Plus brings you C in a friendly format; not the more pedantic approaches taken by most texts. It is example driven for easy learning, includes question and answer self-tests to check your progress, and has program samples that utilize sound, graphics and disk files. Advanced coverage in this book includes the C preprocessor, redirection, access to 8088 ports, storage classes, macro functions, arrays and pointers, structured tags and templates, the C Library, file I/O, bit fiddling, and IBM PC music. C Primer Plus is based on the IBM PC implementation of the standard Kernighan and Ritchie C and is the perfect companion to the Sams/Waite UNIX Primer Plus.
