    Using his unique formula--original and readable prose combined with graphics and calligraphy--Donald Alcock revolutionizes the teaching of the C programming language. A special feature of the layout of the book is the double-page spread: each one covers a particular topic making the book useful as a reference manual. This revised edition has benefited from many corrections and updates, and has now been printed in a wide-page format for ease of use.
    This book is an excellent introduction to standard (ANSI) C, and will provide a reference manual for beginning programmers, computer enthusiasts, and students.

    • Established Press author (Basic sold over 170,000 copies)
    • Alcock's style of handwritten book is a big success
    • Review in Computer Journal of Pascal expressed the wish that he would tackle C at some time
    • 'Completes the set' of fundamental computer languages
    • C is gaining ground on FORTRAN as the leading language for students

    Reviews & endorsements

    "...a useful reference book...The book covers not only the basic elements of C but C libraries; algorithms (such as bubble sort, quicksort, and shortest route); and essential programming techniques such as symbol state tables, binary trees, linked lists, manipulation of strings, and parsing of algebraic expressions." M. J. Iordache, Computing Reviews
