Authored by two standout professors in the field of Computer Science and Technology with extensive experience in instructing, Learn Programming with C: An Easy Step-by Step Self-Practice Book for Learning C is a comprehensive and accessible guide to programming with one of the most popular languages.
Meticulously illustrated with figures and examples, this book is a comprehensive guide to writing, editing, and executing C programs on different operating systems and platforms, as well as how to embed C programs into other applications and how to create one’s own library. A variety of questions and exercises are included in each chapter to test the readers’ knowledge.
Written for the novice C programmer, especially undergraduate and graduate students, this book’s line-by-line explanation of code and succinct writing style makes it an excellent companion for classroom teaching, learning, and programming labs.
C is a programming language with which every software developer should become familiar. Though numerous books are available on C programming language, most of the example programs are written without algorithms or any flowchart in those books. As a result, it becomes difficult for a student to comprehend the core of a programming language through a self-learning approach. Our experience in teaching C underscores the importance of presenting C programs by the flowchart solution first, then the pseudocode solution, and finally the actual C code with the line-by-line explanation.
It is written for C programming language courses/modules at the undergraduate and graduate levels - mostly for beginners. However, if one has prior knowledge on programming, one may skip the initial couple of chapters. By going through this book, any student or a beginner can learn and understand C programming by taking only a little or no help from an instructor. For the instructors, this book is an easy guidance. Only going through this book will be sufficient for them to teach C programming - as theory lectures and practical lab. We avoid a broad or overly verbose presentation or information overload, and the book presents a concise and definitive perspective to C.
This book is written as a self-practice book for learning programming by going through all the detailed problem solutions and working through the pseudocode, flowchart, and the actual code. In addition, readers can observe a clearer correlation between the individual steps in the pseudocode and the flowchart itself for a better understanding of the program flow.
