C By Discovery

C continues to be an extremely important language in the industry. In this book all the concepts of C are explained very well with examples in depth. The programs are short and each program introduces only a few concepts, keeping in mind that students should be burdened during the lecture. At the end of the chapter there are exercises and programming problems, designed so that the students can use the concepts learned. A programmer who has the background knowledge of both why a concept works as well as how it is implemented, will be in a better position to make good decisions in the designing as well as the implementation of programs. The chapter of C++ highlights the similarities and the differences in C and C++ syntax. There will be times when students will desire to refer to the material for the additional information necessary to solve a problem, hence "Programmer's Handbook" is provided to serve as a "reference within a text". A students Disk, containing source code for the programs in the text is provided to enable students to move immediately to active learning, instead of having of spend time typing the programs.
