C For Dummies

If you’re like most people, the above seems
like nonsense. Actually, it’s computer sense—C programming. After digesting C
For Dummies, 2nd Edition, you’ll understand it. C programs are
fast, concise and versatile. They let you boss your computer around for a
change. So turn on your computer, get a free compiler and editor (the book tells
you where), pull up a chair, and get going. You won’t have to go far (page 13)
to find your first program example. You’ll do short, totally manageable,
hands-on exercises to help you make sense of:
All 32 keywords in the C language (that’s
right—just 32 words)
The functions—several dozen of them
Terms like printf(), scanf(), gets (), and
puts ()
String variables, numeric variables, and
constants
Looping and implementation
Floating-point values

In case those terms are almost as intimidating
as the idea of programming, be reassured that C For Dummies was written
by Dan Gookin, bestselling author of DOS For Dummies, the book that
started the whole library. So instead of using expletives and getting headaches,
you’ll be using newly acquired skills and getting occasional chuckles as you
discover how to:
Design and develop programs
Add comments (like post-it-notes to
yourself) as you go
Link code to create executable programs
Debug and deploy your programs
Use lint, a common tool to examine and
optimize your code
