Features: This book is an authoritative classic written by the creator of the C language, introducing the standard C language and its programming methods. The book is divided into 8 chapters and 4 appendices, comprehensively and systematically covering all aspects of the C language and its basic programming methods. The content is both in-depth and easy to understand, accompanied by examples for clarity. It is suitable for college and university students, as well as professionals engaged in computer hardware and software research, development, and application. We have strived to maintain the conciseness of the first edition of this book. C is not a large language and does not require a thick book to describe it. We have improved the explanation of its typical features, such as pointers, which are central to C programming. We have refined previous examples and added new ones in several chapters. For example, we use programs to handle complex declarations, converting declarations into words or vice versa. As before, all example texts are directly tested in machine-readable form. As we said in the preface to the first edition, "As your experience with C grows, it becomes even more useful." After more than ten years of practice, we still hold this belief. We hope this book will help you learn and use C effectively.
