A Book on C (Studies in Disarmament and Conflicts)

The authors describe and demonstrate programming in the language C as defined by ANSI standard X3, 159-1989. The approach and treatment in this new edition emphasize the importance of good program structure and style. This is reinforced by the system of "style scoring" used for many of the program examples. The basic features of C are covered in the first 7 chapters. More advanced features are dealt with in chapters 8-10, while chapter 11 offers guidance on program style. The final chapter lists the functions and features provided by C-standard conformant implementations, stressing aspects of portability.
