Provides instructions for writing C code to create games and mobile applications using the new C11 standard.

Get started with writing simple programs in C while learning the skills that will help you work with practically any programming language Key FeaturesLearn essential C concepts such as variables, data structures, functions, loops, arrays, and pointersGet to grips with the core programming aspects that form the base of many modern programming languagesExplore the expressiveness and versatility of the C language with the help of sample programsBook Description C is a powerful general-purpose programming language that is excellent for beginners to learn. This book will introduce you to computer programming and software development using C. If you're an experienced developer, this book will help you to become familiar with the C programming language. This C programming book takes you through basic programming concepts and shows you how to implement them in C. Throughout the book, you'll create and run programs that make use of one or more C concepts, such as program structure with functions, data types, and conditional statements. You'll also see how to use looping and iteration, arrays, pointers, and strings. As you make progress, you'll cover code documentation, testing and validation methods, basic input/output, and how to write complete programs in C. By the end of the book, you'll have developed basic programming skills in C, that you can apply to other programming languages and will develop a solid foundation for you to advance as a programmer. What you will learnUnderstand fundamental programming concepts and implement them in CWrite working programs with an emphasis on code indentation and readabilityBreak existing programs intentionally and learn how to debug codeAdopt good coding practices and develop a clean coding styleExplore general programming concepts that are applicable to more advanced projectsDiscover how you can use building blocks to make more complex and interesting programsUse C Standard Library functions and understand why doing this is desirableWho this book is for This book is written for two very diverse audiences. If you're an absolute beginner who only has basic familiarity with operating a computer, this book will help you learn the most fundamental concepts and practices you need to know to become a successful C programmer. If you're an experienced programmer, you'll find the full range of C syntax as well as common C idioms. You can skim through the explanations and focus primarily on the source code provided.

Bestselling C author Hansen has produced this highly accessible guide to C language that is appropriate for both beginners who want a clear, authoritative introduction to C and experienced C programmers who want a well-organized reference.

One of the most complete and comprehensive books written on "C" language, this text requires no prior knowledge of programming, no mathematical skills, and no prior training in problem-solving. A Step-by-Step Guide to C Programming has a workbook-like approach so readers can pace themselves. The following features make this book unique: the approach is informal, and each concept is explained by example; explanations are organized like lecture notes; most examples are code complete; readers learn how to put segments of codes together, not just how to use functions and syntax; advice on good programming practices is included; one- and two-dimensional arrays are presented; and the importance of how to write portable functions is stressed.

Learn key topics such as language basics, pointers and pointer arithmetic, dynamic memory management, multithreading, and network programming. Learn how to use the compiler, the make tool, and the archiver.

"N this book, we are going to give you an overview of the concepts that you have to understand before you actually start programming in the C language. We will explain to you the different elements that you ought to know about before you go and delve into developing more complex programs for different operating systems"--Back cover

An intermediate guide to all of the nuances of the popular C programming language. Part of the book is a highly structured tutorial to C programming basics while the rests concentrates on a problem-solving approach.
