Abstract

This ebook the first authorized digital version of Kernighan and Ritchie's 1988 classic, The C Programming Language (2nd Ed.). One of the best-selling programming books published in the last fifty years, K&R has been called everything from the bible to landmark in computer science and it has influenced generations of programmers. Available now for all leading ebook platforms, this concise and beautifully written text a must-have reference for every serious programmers digital library. As modestly described by the authors in the Preface to the First Edition, this is not an introductory programming manual; it assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts like variables, assignment statements, loops, and functions. Nonetheless, a novice programmer should be able to read along and pick up the language, although access to a more knowledgeable colleague will help.
