推荐理由本书第3版融入了过去10年中采用本书的学生和老师的很多反馈意见。本版的特点包括：
基于最新的C语言标准。
在本书的最后给出了4个完整的应用程序开发示例。
扩展讨论了C的指针。
每章后面的“谨记”一节给出了很有用的编程提示以及可能容易出错的问题。
20多个真实的开发案例，展示了C程序的设计过程。
80多个程序设计范例，向读者阐述了良好程序设计的基本原则。
还有200多个复习题和150多个项目设计题。
总之，本书的语言简洁易懂，示例非常丰富且具有很强的实际指导意义，是一本很好的C语言程序设计的教材。
内容简介
本书是印度各大学使用最广的C语言程序设计教材之一。
本书旨在教授读者如何使用C语言进行程序设计。全书贯彻了“用示例学习”的概念。在深入介绍了C语言的每个特性之后，给出了一个完整的示例程序，用于演示说明其应用。每章末尾的“案例学习”不仅介绍了把C语言的特性集成在一起的常用方法，而且还显示了它在实际生活中的应用。最后一章介绍了开发高效、无错误的C程序的一些指导原则。
本书在前一版的基础上增加介绍了C99的一些新特性，并增加了不少复习题和项目设计题，而且在附录IV中给出了4个完整的应用程序开发示例，使得本书的实际应用性更强。
