It offers clear, detailed instruction on building functions and understanding C’s core concepts, making it ideal for intermediate programmers seeking to deepen their skills and appreciate the foundations of modern programming languages. ## Description This edition describes C as defined by the ANSI standard. This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. The book assumes some familiarity with basic programmi Review: Amazing book - Amazing book, old but very good, teaches the fundamentals of C very well, i recommend buying Review: This seriously lives up to it's praise - Best for intermediate or higher though - This is by far the best quality over quantity tech related book I've ever had the pleasure to read yet. Personally I came from a Python background before starting this book, and with it having such clean and easy to write programming style, I was always very intimidated by C, C++, Java, and so on. Well let me tell you this book makes C so much easier and so much less intimidating, it's still a HARD book but it's written and explained so well that with some basic programming knowledge you can learn A LOT from this book. One of my biggest struggles with Python was using it's giant library of pre-built and importable functions that are built into the language. C still has a lot of this built in, but what's different with this particular book is it really TEACHES you how to build functions and programs and breaks down every part and stage of it incredibly well (Seriously, I was blown away by the first chapter of this book which acts as a basic tutorial.) The biggest thing I've taken from starting this book is it's helped me begin to appreciate a language like Python more since it has tons of useful and already built in functions, but going back to an older language like C has opened my eyes up to programming like never before. Using modern languages is "easier" to learn, but if you really want to become a better programmer you need to go back to where we came from to how we got here today. Also even though I may not use C very often (I'm studying to become a Sys Admin), I feel like it's very beneficial for me to improve my programming skills as a whole and I feel like working with C so far has made working with Python even easier. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this book for someone wanting to learn C or if you have already learned one language and wanted to possibly challenge yourself by using an older language that may not be quite as elegant looking. Interestingly though, the authors make C seem incredibly clear and readable because it's all explained and written so well that you quickly forget how intimidating the language looks. 10/10. ## Features - Prentice Hall ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #32,859 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #54 in Computer Programming Languages #101 in Web Development & Design #105 in Internet & Social Media | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,792 Reviews | ## Images ![C Programming Language - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51EyaJeebHL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing book *by K***. on 5 March 2026* Amazing book, old but very good, teaches the fundamentals of C very well, i recommend buying ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This seriously lives up to it's praise - Best for intermediate or higher though *by J***N on 20 July 2016* This is by far the best quality over quantity tech related book I've ever had the pleasure to read yet.

It is clear that the author has great knowledge of the language. That the book is great is no news, if you are new to C this is a great starting point and it is highly suggested. It is worth reading even if you are not new to C, but have never had that full coverage that this book would provide. However as much as I encourage experienced developers that are new to C to read this, I discourage beginners of the programming world to get it. The reason is that this book is more of a manual about C itself rather than a book teaching you how to program. The book will teach you how to write a for loop in C, but not what a for loop is, essentially. This is great for experienced developers who don't need to go over the basics for the 40th time, but its a headache for the newbies. The book is also very dense; there are no wasted pages here. Every sentence contains knowledge that sometimes you are expected to unpack and understand yourself with any simplification or "spoon feeding". Overall a great read, highly recommended. Of course the book is old, going all the way back to the standard C89 (whereas the first edition didn't even follow a standard, since back then there wasn't an ISO standard as the book itself explains). The good news is that C has such little changes that ANSI C / C89 is a great resource. However you will most likely need to pick up another, more modern and updated book, to catch up with newer standard such as C23. ## Frequently Bought Together - C Programming Language, 2nd Edition - Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces - The Linux Programming Interface: A Linux and UNIX System Programming Handbook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://sintmaarten.desertcart.com/products/254370187-c-programming-language](https://sintmaarten.desertcart.com/products/254370187-c-programming-language) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sint Maarten* *Store origin: SX* *Last updated: 2026-09-01*
