4.0 out of 5 stars It's short a star for a good reason., May 20, 2001

The book it answers, "The C Programming Language", is one that every C programmer probably owns and with good reason. This answer guide is a necessary complement to those of us who are curious about the authors' solutions.

Maybe you need the extra explanations; I know I did at times, if only to clarify or validate my thought processes. If you have a professor using "The C Progamming Language" as the primary textbook, you won't need this book. However, if you're going it alone, it's a good complement to self-study because it will engage you in some rational dialogue about the solution methodology.

That's the final star; if the book discussed rationale a bit more, it would merit the fifth star.

This book contains solutions to all the questions and exercises in the K&R C second edition. If you can figure everything out easily, then you don't need this book. If you want to cheat or need some help, get this book. I have it as a reference and to show my students.

5.0 out of 5 stars I wish that I'd found this one earlier!, November 12, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The C Answer Book: Solutions to the Exercises in 'The C Programming Language,' Second Edition (Paperback)

Where was this book when I was struggling with the C language. In my opinion, this should not be a seperate book, but a part of the book, "The C Programming Language" by Kernighan and Ritchie.

At last students of C can work through the exercises in "The C Programming Language" and then turn to this book to make sure they are on the right track with the answers.
