One of the most complete and comprehensive books written on "C" language, this text requires no prior knowledge of programming, no mathematical skills, and no prior training in problem-solving. A Step-by-Step Guide to C Programming has a workbook-like approach so readers can pace themselves. The following features make this book unique: the approach is informal, and each concept is explained by example; explanations are organized like lecture notes; most examples are code complete; readers learn how to put segments of codes together, not just how to use functions and syntax; advice on good programming practices is included; one- and two-dimensional arrays are presented; and the importance of how to write portable functions is stressed.

Provides instructions for writing C code to create games and mobile applications using the new C11 standard.

C Programming in easy steps, 5th edition has an easy-to-follow style that will appeal to anyone who wants to begin programming in C, from programmers moving from another programming language, to the student who is studying C programming at school or college, or to those seeking a career in computing who need a fundamental understanding of procedural programming. C Programming in easy steps, 5th edition begins by explaining how to download and install a free C compiler so that you can quickly begin to create your own executable programs by copying the book's examples. You need have no previous knowledge of any programming language so it's ideal for the newcomer to computer programming. Each chapter builds your knowledge of C. C Programming in easy steps, 5th edition contains separate chapters on the major features of the C language. There are complete example programs that demonstrate each aspect of C together with screenshots that illustrate the output when that program has been executed. The free, downloadable sample code provided via the In Easy Steps website all has coloured syntax-highlighting for clearer understanding. By the end of this book you will have gained a sound understanding of the C language and be able to write your own C programs and compile them into executable files that can be run on any compatible computer. Fully updated and revised since the fourth edition, which was published in April 2012 – now covers the GNU Compiler version 6.3.0 and Windows 10. Table of Contents: Getting started Storing variable values Setting constant values Performing operations Making statements Employing functions Pointing to data Manipulating strings Building structures Producing results Reference Section

C is the programming language of choice when speed and reliability are required. It is used for many low-level tasks, such as device drivers and operating-system programming. For example, much of Windows and Linux is based on C programming. The updated 4th edition of Beginning C builds on the strengths of its predecessors to offer an essential guide for anyone who wants to learn C or desires a ‘brush-up’ in this compact, fundamental language. This classic from author, lecturer and respected academic Ivor Horton is the essential guide for anyone looking to learn the C language from the ground up.
