I want to learn C..?

I want to learn C..I'm a student but the book they gave us is total crap..Can anyone give me a link where I can download a guide..I'd also like to solve exercises if possible..Thanks..

I want to learn C..?
Try www.dwite.ca





It's a programming competition website containing recent and past programming problems. You should learn file IO too.
Reply:C is a great language BUT you have to understand the concept of pointers. This is not easy to do on your own, specially if you do not have a degree in computer science, electrical engineering, or knowledge of how memories work in the hardware.





The best book for this is called "Mastering the C pointer." Unfortunately, it is out of print.





Kernighan and Ritchie's book is considered to be the defacto standard; however, it's dry reading





If you want to know C and write it correctly, take the classes. You can really do some damage if you don't know what you are doing with the pointers. If someone tells you that you don't need pointers, then you will greatly diminish the power of the C language.
Reply:Kernighan and Ritchie's "The C Programming Language" is a terrible book to learn the C language from. And most of the power of that language now is in whatever function library you buy to use with the language.





You didn't mention what book you are using, but you really ought to be learning C++ instead of C. C++ is the object oriented version of C.





There are tons of books on C out there and any large bookstore will have several to select from. They all have their pluses and minuses. Also check Amazon.com.





If you have an opportunity learn C by taking a course at your local community college.
Reply:When I was a student, I liked the Schaum outline series for many engineering subjects. Concise, neat, and tons of problems worked out, and exercise problems too. Try to get hold of the Schaum series for C programming.
Reply:can u try it

Reply:I program quite a bit in C and the only reference I ever use or ever have used is the one written by the inventors of the language: Kernighan and Ritchie's "The C Programming Language"
