SynopsisThere are lots of introductory C books, but this is the first one that has the no-nonsense, practical approach that has made Nutshell Handbooks® famous. C programming is more than just getting the syntax right. Style and debugging also play a tremendous part in creating programs that run well and are easy to maintain. Practical C Programming teaches you how to create programs that are easy to read, debug, and maintain. Practical rules are stressed. For example, there are fifteen precedence rules in C (&& comes before comes before ?:). The practical programmer reduces these to two: multiplication and division come before addition and subtraction Electronic Archaeology, the art of going through someone else's code, is also described.Topics covered: - Good programming style - C syntax: what to use and what not to use - The programming environment, including make - The total programming process - Floating point limitations - Tricks and surprisesIn this second edition, program examples conform to ANSI C. Covers Turbo C (DOS) as well as the UNIX C compiler., Practical C Programming teaches readers how to create clear and easy to read programs so that the programmer who must maintain the code does not have to struggle with it. It emphasizes the process of program development and presents many tools found in the UNIX environment which improve a programmer's efficiency., There are lots of introductory C books, but this is the first one that has the no-nonsense, practical approach that has made Nutshell Handbooks(R) famous.

It's a great review.. I had been programming in C for years but I retired and this book hits all of the points that I needed to brush up on ..
Great book
