Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book is a comprehensive, fully-updated guide to the C programming language as defined by both ANSI and ISO and implemented by most vendors. It reflects the extensive support for manipulating large character sets added with Amendment 1 to the ANSI standard, and covers refinements and clarifications developed in response to formal Defect Reports against the standard. Put briefly, this book is as comprehensive as the C standard, but much more readable.

This review is from: Standard C: A Reference with CD (Audio) (Prentice Hall Series on Programming Tools and Methodologies) (Paperback)

Great for answering technical questions concerning the C language . Also very useful for determining the portablility of code. Includes a 3 1/2" floppy with the entire contents of the book in an easy-to-navigate set of web pages.
