C: A Software Engineering Approach

This book describes the C programming language and software engineering prin­ ciples of program construction. The book is intended primarily as a textbook for beginning and intermediate C programmers. It does not assume previous knowl­ edge of C, nor of any high-level language, though it does assume...
