C : how to program

For introductory courses in C Programming. Also for courses in Programming for Engineers, Programming for Business, and Programming for Technology. The Deitels' groundbreaking How to Program series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of object-oriented programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study. Using the Deitels' signature Live-Code Approach, this complete, authoritative introduction to C programming offers strong treatment of structured algorithm and program development in ANSI/ISO C with 150 working C programs. Includes rich, 300-page treatment of object-oriented programming in C++ that helps students interpret the code more effectively.
