If you're like most people, the above seems like nonsense.
Actually, it's computer sense--C programming. After digesting "C
For Dummies, 2nd Edition, " you'll understand it. C programs are
fast, concise and versatile. They let you boss your computer around
for a change. So turn on your computer, get a free compiler and
editor (the book tells you where), pull up a chair, and get going.
You won't have to go far (page 13) to find your first program
example. You'll do short, totally manageable, hands-on exercises to
help you make sense of: All 32 keywords in the C language (that's
right--just 32 words)The functions--several dozen of themTerms like
printf(), scanf(), gets (), and puts ()String variables, numeric
variables, and constantsLooping and implementationFloating-point
values
In case those terms are almost as intimidating as the idea of
programming, be reassured that "C For Dummies" was written by Dan
Gookin, bestselling author of "DOS For Dummies," the book that
started the whole library. So instead of using expletives and
getting headaches, you'll be using newly acquired skills and
getting occasional chuckles as you discover how to: Design and
develop programsAdd comments (like post-it-notes to yourself) as
you goLink code to create executable programsDebug and deploy your
programsUse lint, a common tool to examine and optimize your
code
A helpful, tear-out cheat sheet is a quick reference for
comparison symbols, conversion characters, mathematical doodads, C
numeric data types, and more. "C For Dummies" takes the mystery out
of programming and gets you into it quickly and painlessly.
