This ebook is the first authorized digital version of Kernighan and Ritchies 1988 classic, The C Programming Language (2nd Ed.). One of the best-selling programming books published in the last fifty years, K&R has been called everything from the bible to a landmark in computer science and it has influenced generations of programmers. Available now for all leading ebook platforms, this concise and beautifully written text is a must-have reference for every serious programmers digital library. As modestly described by the authors in the Preface to the First Edition, this is not an introductory programming manual; it assumes some familiarity with basic programming concepts like variables, assignment statements, loops, and functions. Nonetheless, a novice programmer should be able to read along and pick up the language, although access to a more knowledgeable colleague will help.
