Description

Learn real-world C programming as per the latest ANSI standard Key features Learn real-world C programming as per the latest ANSI standard All programs work on DOS, Windows as well as Linux Detailed explanation of difficult concepts like "Pointers" and "Bitwise operators" End of chapter exercises drawn from different universities Written by best-selling author of Let Us CDescriptionIn this heterogeneous world a program that is compiler dependent is simply unacceptable. ANSI C Programming teaches you C language in such a manner that you are able to write truly portable programs. This book doesn't assume any programming background. It begins with the basics and steadily builds the pace so that the reader finds it easy to handle complicated topics towards the end. Each chapter has been designed to create a deep and lasting impression on the reader's mind. "If taught through examples, any concept becomes easy to gasp". This book follows this dictum faithfully, Yashavant has crafted well thought out programming examples for every aspects of C programming. What will you learn Algorithms, control instructions, strings, bitwise operators, flowcharts, functions Structures, enumerations, data types, pointers, unions, dynamic memory allocation Storage classes, arrays, File IO, linked list Who this book is forStudents, Programmers, researchers, and software developers who wish to learn the basics of ANSI C Programming.

Acknowledgments
Once I completed my first book, fifteen years ago, one person has continuously egged me on to write on newer and newer topics. He is Manish Jain of BPB. He has a way to motivate authors to produce better books. I hope every author gets a publisher who is as cooperative, knowledgeable and supportive as Manish.
I thank Seema, my wife, my parents and kids for supporting me throughout this book effort.
And finally my heartfelt gratitude to Monali Mohadikar for the countless hours she spent on formatting the text and the figures to make them appear just the way I wanted them to.
Preface
Writing C programs targeted for one compiler is one thing, but making the programs work under all compilers is what makes it portable and useful. In this heterogeneous world a program which is compiler dependant is simply unacceptable. In ANSI C programming I have attempted to teach C language in such a manner that you are able to write truly portable programs.
If you feel that I could have done certain things in this book better than what I have, or you have any suggestions about what you would like to see in the next edition, please drop a line to [e-mail]
All the best and happy programming!
