Product Description
This fourth edition of Gary Bronson's classic text implements the C99 standard in all discussion and example programs. An early emphasis on
software engineering and top-down modular program development makes the material readily accessible to novice programmers. Early introduction and careful development of pointers demonstrate the power of good programming. The new edition features a new Common Compiler Errors feature in each chapter, and all material has been updated for currency and readability.

Reader Reviews
This 4th edition comes 6 years after the 3rd edition. Bronson has put a lot of material into the current edition. Maybe its main attraction is the use of the C99 standard. But C is generally so stable that the 3rd edition should suffice for most C programmers, if you already have that book. The 4th edition spends much time explaining how to code in a top-down procedural manner. For those of us who have migrated to an object oriented language, actually ANY OO language, the narrative leads to a wry grin. Procedural languages tend to max out sometime between 100k and 1 million lines of code. Necessitating moving to an OO language. But the text doesn't speak much of this.
