Preface
C has continued to increase in popularity since the publication of the first edition of this book in 1990.
Most newer compilers provide numerous extensions to the 1989 ANSI standard, as well as a full-feature
graphical programming environment including a debugger, a project manager, and extensive on-line help.
Moreover, interest in C has not been diminished by the emergence of C++, since the features found in this
newer programming language require a solid background in C.
This second edition provides instruction in the use of the C language, within the context of contemporary C
programming style. It includes complete and understandable explanations of the commonly used features of C,
including most of the features included in the current ANSI standard. In addition, the book presents a
contemporary approach to programming, stressing the importance of clarity, legibility, modularity and
efficiency in program design. Thus, the reader is exposed to the principles of good programming practice as
well as the specific rules of C. Complete C programs are presented throughout the text, beginning with the first
chapter. The use of an interactive programming style is emphasized throughout the text.
The book can be used by a wide reader audience, ranging from beginning programmers to practicing
professionals. It is particularly well suited for advanced secondary or beginning college-level students as a
textbook for an introductory programming course, as a supplementary text, or as an effective independent-study
guide.
Many examples are included as an integral part of the text. These include numerous programming
examples of varying complexity, as well as illustrative drill-type problems. The sample programs conform to
the ANSI C standard. Many are solved using other programming languages in the companion Schaum’s
Outlines, thus providing the reader with a basis of comparison among several popular languages.
Sets of review questions and drill problems are provided at the end of each chapter. The review questions
enable readers to test their recall of the material presented within each chapter. They also provide an effective
chapter summary. The drill problems reinforce the principles presented within each chapter. The reader
should solve as many of these problems as possible. Answers to most of the drill problems are provided at the
end of the book.
In addition, problems that require the writing of complete C programs are presented at the end of each
chapter, beginning with Chap. 5. The reader is encouraged to write and execute as many of these programs as
possible. This will greatly enhance the reader’s self-confidence and stimulate interest in the subject.
(Computer programming is a demanding skill, much like creative writing or playing a musical instrument. As
such, it cannot be learned simply by reading a textbook!)
Most of these programming problems require no special mathematical or technical background. Hence,
they can be solved by a broad range of readers. When using this book in a programming course, the instructor
may wish to supplement these problems with additional programming exercises that reflect particular
disciplinary interests.
A number of changes have been made to the earlier edition. Chapter 5 has been rewritten, illustrating the
use of C within Borland International’s Turbo C++ programming environment, and the material on debugging
techniques has been rewritten and expanded. The topics in Chap. 6 have been rearranged to correspond to the
order in which they are presented in most introductory programming courses, with branching preceding
looping. Some earlier material on the use of functions, reflecting an older programming style, has been
removed from Chap. 7, and a section on dynamic memory allocation has been added to Chap. 10. Stylistic
changes have been made in most programming examples; in particular, programs involving functions now
emphasize full function prototyping, as recommended by the current ANSI standard.
All of the programming examples and many of the end-of-chapter programming problems have been
solved on an Intel-type (“IBM-compatible”) personal computer, using several different versions of Borland
International’s Turbo C++ compiler. In addition, some of the examples were run on a Digital Equipment VAX
computer, using the versions of C provided by DEC for their VMS operating system.

PREFACE
The principal features of C are summarized in Appendixes A through H at the end of the book. This
material should be used frequently for ready reference and quick recall. It is particularly helpful when writing
or debugging a new program.
