Objective mathematics: IIT screening

Audience: This book is designed as a primary text for a C course at the undergraduate level.Previous programming experience in a high-level language or assembler is helpfulbut not necessary for a computer-literate reader.But even C must change with the times. The need for a new edition of C Pro-gramming: A Modern Approach became apparent when the C99 standard was pub-lished. Moreover, the first edition, with its references to DOS and 16-bit processors,was becoming dated. The second edition is fully up-to-date and has been improvedin many other ways as well.Includes a quick reference to all C89 and C99 library functions. AppendixD in the first edition described all C89 standard library functions. In this edi-tion, the appendix covers all C89 and C99 library functions.Expanded coverage of GCC. In the years since the first edition, use of GCChas spread with significant advantages, including high quality, low (i.e.,no) cost, and portability across a variety of hardware and software platforms.In recognition of its growing importance, I’ve included more information aboutGCC in this edition, including discussions of how to use it as well as commonGCC error messages and warnings.Updated to reflect today’s CPUs and operating systems. When I wrote thefirst edition, 16-bit architectures and the DOS operating system were still rele-vant to many readers, but such is not the case today. I’ve updated the discus-sion to focus more on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. The rise of Linux andother versions of UNIX has dictated a stronger focus on that family of operat-ing systems, although aspects of Windows and the Mac OS operating systemthat affect C programmers are mentioned as well.Download the source programs from:http://knking.com/books/c2/cprogs2.zip A Clear, Complete, And Engaging Presentation Of The C Programming Language - Now With Coverage Of Both C89 And C99--jacket. 5050 Introducing C -- C Fundamentals -- Formatted Input / Output -- Expressions -- Selection Statements -- Loops -- Basic Types -- Arrays -- Functions -- Program Organization -- Pointers -- Pointers And Arrays -- Strings -- The Preprocessor -- Writing Large Programs -- Structures, Unions, And Enumerations -- Advanced Uses Of Pointers -- Declarations -- Program Design -- Low-level Programming -- The Standard Library -- Input / Output -- Library Support For Numbers And Character Data -- Error Handling -- International Features -- Miscellaneous Library Functions -- Additional C99 Support For Mathematics. K.n. King. Includes Bibliographical References (p. 803-805) And Index. The first edition of C Programming: A Modern Approach was popular with students and faculty alike because of its clarity and comprehensiveness as well as its trademark Q&A sections. Professor King's spiral approach made it accessible to a broad range of readers, from beginners to more advanced students. With adoptions at over 225 colleges, the first edition was one of the leading C textbooks of the last ten years. The second edition maintains all the book's popular features and brings it up to date with coverage of the C99 standard. The new edition also adds a significant number of exercises and longer programming projects, and includes extensive revisions and updates.
