This edition of Gary Bronson's classic text implements the C99 standard in all discussion and example programs. An early emphasis on software engineering and top-down modular program development makes the material readily accessible to novice programmers. Early introduction and careful development of pointers demonstrate the power of good programming. This edition features a new Common Compiler Errors feature in each chapter, and all material has been updated for currency and readability.
