Absolutely amazing and thorough text on programming as per ANSI C standards.

Great example text blocks to use and run within your own compiler, and is a wholistic type of learning experience for how computers both read code and function from them.

I enjoyed this textbook for my class, it was especially helpful to find there was an international version of the text at discount -> with the SAME information as the domestic print!

Completely recommended, this is a favorite! :)

After jumping around the chapters a bit, I decided that there's not much value in me learning about the syntax of C at this point in my programming self-education, and the logical concepts introduced here are things I already know. I didn't rate the book because it is probably a lovely enough introduction, but just not a value add for me.

The only downside i can find of this book is the price 140 bucks are too much (worth but not all can afford it) but you can workaround if you go to your Uni's or other library... [continue later]

This is a great book, but it's not C85 or later - it's Ken and Ritchie C, so it doesn't compile in most modern C compilers like GNU C or Clang. It usually compiles in a C++ compiler, but pointers work very differently between the two languages.
