Programming in C (For Mumbai University)

This edition of Programming in C is designed to serve as an introductory textbook for the first-year students of Engineering at the University of Mumbai. It provides a thorough understanding of the fundamentals of C and its applications. Assuming no prior knowledge of programming, it starts from the basics such as flowcharts and algorithms. Thereafter, it gradually moves ahead to discuss control statements, input and output, arrays and strings, functions, pointers, user-defined data types and files. In addition, it has a chapter that covers some of the advanced features such as command-line arguments, bitwise operators, different memory models and type qualifiers. The book is embedded with an exhaustive set of examples that illustrates the way various features of C work. Case studies have been provided to further clarify the way these features are applied to solve practical problems. Students will find this book an excellent companion for self-study owing to its easy-to-understand approach with plenty of programs complete with source codes, sample outputs and test cases.
