C primer plus (5^th Ed.)

C Primer Plus, 4th Edition has complete C programming coverage with task-oriented examples to teach students the fundamentals of C programming. Fully revised and updated, it covers C99 the new standard for C. This new standard necessitates coverage of several topics, such as: extended integer types, compound literals, expanded character support, designated initializers, Boolean support, expanded computational support, variable-length arrays, and inline function. It contains hundreds of sample programs, challenging examples, hints, and quizzes. All of these resources are used to teach students to create practical and real-world applications.
