Summary

C Programming: Including Numerical and Statistical Methods develops the programming language C gradually by illustrating several examples for beginners using simple language. The text begins with fundamentals of computers followed by constants, variables and evaluation of arithmetic and logical expressions. The I/O statements/functions are discussed in detail with several examples. Both one and multi-dimensional arrays are discussed, along with string manipulation, pointer, structure and union, macro and preprocessor, command lines arguments, bitwise operations and multifiles program with examples. Using the concept of string manipulation, a method to add two long integers is described and another very important and useful technique - dynamic memory allocation, is discussed with examples. A quick reference is provided at the end of the book for easy access to all keywords, ASCII codes, constants, header files, functions and so on.
