Advanced C

Description

This book has several purposes. First, it introduces advanced parts of the C language.It also describes changes in the ANSI standard, which is the only true definition of theC language. In addition, the book contains much of what I have learned (often thehard way) about C programming.Advanced C is divided into five parts, and each part can be used by itself. Part Igets you started and lays the groundwork for the rest of the book. In Part II, you learnhow to manage data and files when programming in C. Part III introduces integratingC with other languages and interfacing with other environments such as databaseprograms. Part IV is a reference section that covers the header files, the intrinsicfunctions, the preprocessor, and some performance and debugging techniques. Part V(the appendixes) contains an ASCII table, information about different compilers, anintroduction to C++, and a cross-reference of functions and their header files.Many chapters contain example programs. In some chapters, a single exampleprogram is used to demonstrate several topics in the chapter.
