This course is intended to help a good programmer particularly someone familiar with DEC Fortran, start programming in
C. Topics covered includes: Why is the language called C, Variables, Types and
Functions, Loop and Flow Control Constructs, Arrays, Pointers, Strings,
Structures and Unions, Typedef, Header Files, Macros and the ? operator,
Logical and Relational Operators, Bitwise Operators, Function Prototypes, File
IO Routines and Command Line Arguments, Obfuscation, Changing from VAX C or
K&R C to ANSI Compliant DEC C.
This
note describes the following topics: Beginning With C, Input/output, Control Statements, Loops, Arrays and Strings,
Data Types, Functions, Pointers, Structures, File Manipulation.
C is a
relatively small language, but one which wears well. Topics covered includes: Basic Data
Types and Operators, Statements and Control Flow, Functions and Program
Structure, Basic I/O, Operators, Strings.
Beginners and professional programmers alike will benefit
from the numerous examples and extensive exercises developed to guide readers
through each concept. Step-by-step dissections of program code illuminate the
correct usage and syntax of C language constructs and reveal the underlying
logic of their application. The clarity of exposition and format of the book
make it an excellent reference on all aspects of C.
