Unlike many C programming books written by C programmers, this brief, self-teaching introduction was written by an instructor familiar with the needs of students. The book defines key programming terms as it teaches the basics of C programming. It contains numerous real world programming examples showing first the algorithm, immediately followed by the program for the algorithm, and then its output. End of chapter exercises with "e;hints"e; help to review and master the material under discussion. An appendix with fifteen "e;C Lab projects"e; with their solutions is also included.Features: * Defines key programming terms as it teaches the C programming language* Covers major topics such as arrays and pointers, structures and unions, file handling, and more* Includes numerous real world programming examples showing first the algorithm, followed by the program itself, then the desired output
