À propos de la quatrième de couverture

Read this book if you want to add C to your programming-language repertoire. You can use this book to learn the essentials of the language and to preparefor real-world work.

You learn the key concepts in their natural order as features are added to a short yet representative C program. The final version of the program reads information from a file describing stock trades and predicts the next-day's price using a straight-line extrapolation, thereby reflecting the popularity of C in applications involving data analysis.

As you see the program evolve, you learn how to:

  • define functions
  • benefit from function abstraction
  • solve ordering problems with function prototypes
  • process data from files
  • create structures and objects
  • use pointer parameters to avoid argument copying
  • use pointer parameters to alter values
  • create new structure objects at run time
  • define constructors, readers, and writers
  • benefit from data abstraction
  • use enumerations and type synonyms to improve readability
  • use unions to capture class distinctions
  • use bits to record state information
  • prevent memory leaks
  • access command-like arguments
  • organize and compile multiple-file programs
  • and much more.
