C How To Program: With An Introduction To C++

Description

C How to Program is a comprehensive introduction to programming in C. Like other texts of the Deitel’s How to Program series, the book serves as a detailed beginner source of information for college students looking to embark on a career in coding, or instructors and software-development professionals seeking to learn how to program with C.

The Eighth Edition continues the tradition of the signature Deitel Live Code approach–presenting concepts in the context of full-working programs rather than incomplete snips of code. This gives students a chance to run each program as they study it and see how their learning applies to real world programming scenarios.

Key Features

• Deitels’ signature “Live-Code” approach allows students to run full programs as they learn key concepts.
• A focus on performance issues relates the text to real world, as developers of performance-intensive systems often code in C or C++.
• Unparalleled breadth and depth of programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study
• Hundreds of complete, working programs
• Comprehensive Introduction to C compatible with all major operating systems
  • The book supports both the C11 and C99 standards in early chapters as appropriate for introductory material.
  • All code has been tested and is compatible with Linux, Windows and OSX operating systems.
