Product Description
This fourth edition of Gary Bronson's classic text implements the C99 standard in all discussion and example programs. An early emphasis on software engineering and top-down modular program development makes the material readily accessible to novice programmers. Early introduction and careful development of pointers demonstrate the power of good programming. The new edition features a new Common Compiler Errors feature in each chapter, and all material has been updated for currency and readability.

Good book! October 2, 2008
J. Scott (United Kingdom)
My only complaint is that there seems to be a lot of errors in the practice exercises. Other than that it is easy to read and learn from.
use the 3rd edition if you have it July 4, 2006

This 4th edition comes 6 years after the 3rd edition. Bronson has put a lot of material into the current edition. Maybe its main attraction is the use of the C99 standard. But C is generally so stable that the 3rd edition should suffice for most C programmers, if you already have that book.
The 4th edition spends much time explaining how to code in a top-down procedural manner. For those of us who have migrated to an object oriented language, actually ANY OO language, the narrative leads to a wry grin. Procedural languages tend to max out sometime between 100k and 1 million lines of code. Necessitating moving to an OO language. But the text doesn't speak much of this.
