Features: This book takes programming as the basic thread, while also providing an in-depth introduction to various aspects of the C language. The emphasis is on how to understand programming, write programs, and use C to write good programs. Through examples, it discusses the analysis and decomposition of problems, identifying major steps, determining function abstraction, finding loops, selecting language structures, and finally writing the program. Many examples in the book present multiple solutions under different considerations to help readers understand the "essence" of programming design. This book uses C as the language for discussing programming design, covering various aspects of basic programming design. When providing program examples, it does not adopt the common three-step format of posing a problem, giving an answer, and adding some explanations. Instead, it includes many analyses and discussions of problems to help readers recognize the essence of the programming design process and understand the thinking process from problem to program. The book also explains in as much detail as possible many issues related to the C language and programming design. This book is suitable as a textbook for computer-related majors in universities and colleges, and can also be read by other readers learning the C programming language.
