The world runs on code written in the C programming language, but most computer science programs only teach Java or Python as an introductory language. This book is for developers who already know how to program and want to quickly come up to speed on professional programming in C. You'll learn how to develop correct, portable, professional-quality code and build a foundation for developing security-critical and safety-critical systems.
Written by renowned author Robert Seacord, Effective C is an in-depth look at the C programming language. Seacord introduces the language's basic data types and code structures while simultaneously addressing best practices, common errors, and open debates in the C community. You'll also learn how to debug, test, and analyze C programs and benefit from detailed yet concise explanations of C language constructs and behaviors.
Learn:
How to identify and handle undefined behavior in a C program
The range and representations of integers and floating-point values
How integer promotions are performed and how they may affect portability
The order of evaluation of expressions
Dynamic memory allocation including the use of non-standard functions
The philosophy underlying the use of character types in C
Character encodings and types
How to perform input/output (I/O) with terminals and file systems using C Standard Streams and POSIX file descriptors
The translation phases implemented by the C compiler and the role of the preprocessor
How to test, debug, and analyze C programs
Developed in collaboration with C Standard Committee experts, Effective C will teach you how to write correct, portable, professional-quality C code.
