Summary

The Third Edition of Gary Bronson's popular text implements the ANSI C standard in all discussion and example programs. An early emphasis on software engineering and top-down modular program development makes it readily accessible to novice programmers. Early introduction and careful development of pointers demonstrate the power of good programming.
