Programming in C will teach you how to write programs in the C programming language. Whether you’re a novice or experienced programmer, this book will provide you with a clear understanding of this language, which is the foundation for many object-oriented programming languages such as C++, Objective-C, C#, and Java.
This book teaches C by example, with complete C programs used to illustrate each new concept along the way. Stephen Kochan provides step-by-step explanations for all C functions. You will learn both the language fundamentals and good programming practices. Exercises at the end of each chapter make the book ideally suited for classroom use or for self-instruction.
All the features of the C language are covered in this book, including the latest additions added with the C11 standard. Appendixes provide a detailed summary of the language and the standard C library, both organized for quick reference.
“Absolutely the best book for anyone starting out programming in C. This is an excellent introductory text with frequent examples and good text.…This is the book I used to learn C–it’s a great book.”

On some machines, a short int takes up half the amount of storage as a regular int variable does. In any case, you are guaranteed that the amount of space allocated for a short int will not be less than 16 bits. There is no way to explicitly write a constant of type short int in C.To display a short int variable, place the letter h in front of any of the normal integer conversion characters: %hi, %ho, or %hx. Alternatively, you can also use any of the integer conversion characters to display
assured that the program loop executes at least once, thus guaranteeing the display of at least one digit in all cases. Program 5.9 shows this revised program. Program 5.9 Implementing a Revised Program to Reverse the Digits of a Number // Program to reverse the digits of a number #include
scope of these variables and where to look for their declarations. One final thing about global variables.They do have default initial values: zero. So, in the global declaration int gData[100]; all 100 elements of the gData array are set to zero when the program begins execution. 155 156 Chapter 8 Working with Functions So remember that while global variables have default initial values of zero, local variables have no default initial value and so must be explicitly initialized by the
Structures end of the month, tomorrow’s date is calculated by simply adding 1 to the day and setting tomorrow’s month and year equal to today’s month and year. If today’s date does fall at the end of the month, another test is made to determine if it is the end of the year. If the month equals 12, meaning that today’s date is December 31, tomorrow’s date is set equal to January 1 of the next year. If the month does not equal 12, tomorrow’s date is set to the first day of the following month (of

In that case, the entire process of compiling, linking, and executing the program must be repeated until the desired results are obtained. Integrated Development Environments The individual steps involved in developing C programs were outlined earlier, showing typical commands that would be entered for each step.This process of editing, compiling, running, and debugging programs is often
