C Programming Language: ANSI C Version Copertina flessibile – 22 marzo 1988
Opzioni di acquisto e componenti aggiuntivi
The definitive reference guide to C programming from K&R for writing good code that works and is easy to modify
Learn how to program in C from the developers of C, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie. Intended for those with at least some experience with one other language (even if you are a novice), this book contains a tutorial introduction to get new users started as soon as possible and separate chapters on each major feature:
- Types, operators, and expressions
- Control flow
- Functions and program structure
- Pointers and arrays
- Structures
- Input and output
This second edition of The C Programming Language describes C as defined by the ANSI standard and includes a reference manual that conveys the essentials of the standard in a smaller space for easy comprehension for programmers.
"K&R is one of my favorite books. The style of the tutorial chapters is so deceptively light and simple and the manual so crisp. Much of C's reputation of simplicity comes from the clarity and great little examples from this book. My 1978 copy has lost its cover and my K&R2 is somewhat dog eared. Above all, K&R is a useful book."
Bjarne Stroustrup, designer and original implementer of C++, and author of The C++ Programming Language

Descrizione prodotto
Recensione
Dalla quarta di copertina
This book is meant to help the reader learn how to program in C. It is the definitive reference guide, now in a second edition. Although the first edition was written in 1978, it continues to be a worldwide best-seller. This second edition brings the classic original up to date to include the ANSI standard.
From the Preface:
We have tried to retain the brevity of the first edition. C is not a big language, and it is not well served by a big book. We have improved the exposition of critical features, such as pointers, that are central to C programming. We have refined the original examples, and have added new examples in several chapters. For instance, the treatment of complicated declarations is augmented by programs that convert declarations into words and vice versa. As before, all examples have been tested directly from the text, which is in machine-readable form.
As we said in the first preface to the first edition, C "wears well as one's experience with it grows." With a decade more experience, we still feel that way. We hope that this book will help you to learn C and use it well.
L'autore
Brian W. Kernighan received his BASc from the University of Toronto in 1964 and a PhD in electrical engineering from Princeton in 1969. He was a member of the Computing Science Research center at Bell Labs until 2000, and is now a professor in the Computer Science Department at Princeton. He was a co-creator of several programming languages, including AWK, AMPL, and a number of tools for document preparation. He is the co-author of 10 books and some technical papers, and holds 4
patents. He was elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 2002. His research areas include programming languages, tools and interfaces that make computers easier to use, often for non-specialist users. He is also interested in technology
education for non-technical audiences.
Dennis Ritchie was a computer scientist notable for his influence on ALTRAN, B, BCPL, C, Multics, and Unix.

Recensito in Italia il 18 luglio 2025Formato: Copertina flessibileAcquisto verificatoThe contents of this book are awesome, truly a no time wasted, full and complete manual of C.
It is clear that the author has great knowledge of the language.
That the book is great is no news, if you are new to C this is a great starting point and it is highly suggested. It is worth reading even if you are not new to C, but have never had that full coverage that this book would provide.
However as much as I encourage experienced developers that are new to C to read this, I discourage beginners of the programming world to get it.
The reason is that this book is more of a manual about C itself rather than a book teaching you how to program.
The book will teach you how to write a for loop in C, but not what a for loop is, essentially. This is great for experienced developers who don't need to go over the basics for the 40th time, but its a headache for the newbies.
The book is also very dense; there are no wasted pages here. Every sentence contains knowledge that sometimes you are expected to unpack and understand yourself with any simplification or "spoon feeding".
Overall a great read, highly recommended.
Of course the book is old, going all the way back to the standard C89 (whereas the first edition didn't even follow a standard, since back then there wasn't an ISO standard as the book itself explains).
The good news is that C has such little changes that ANSI C / C89 is a great resource. However you will most likely need to pick up another, more modern and updated book, to catch up with newer standard such as C23.

Recensito in Italia il 2 ottobre 2020Formato: Copertina flessibileAcquisto verificatoThis book must be present on the shelf on every tech people, not because of C itself, but because of the quality of the content. Every page is full of new information and every single chapter goes straight to the point of demonstrating what you can do with C. The authors comes clearly from another planet, and I have had this kind of feeling only with few other tech books.
There's only one negative note: sometimes you have to look at external resources because the author assumes that you are already familiar with programming. Considering the book length this is ok, but I won't recommend the book to a novice programmer even if the title is quite generic.
- Recensito in Italia il 15 dicembre 2023Formato: Copertina flessibileAcquisto verificatoRecentemente ho preso la decisione di sviluppare un nuovo videogioco ed ho pensato di farlo con un linguaggio di programmazione più a basso livello rispetto a quelli da me utilizzati solitamente.
Beh, sarò strano io... ma programmare in C da una sensazione di libertà espressiva che mi mancava da molto tempo.
Detto questo, che a voi fregherà relativamente, veniamo al libro: semplicemente la Bibbia di questo linguaggio storico, non deve mancare nella libreria di un Software Engineer.

John SmithRecensito nel Regno Unito il 19 gennaio 20185,0 su 5 stelle Definitely Recommend don't be fooled by age of the book.
Formato: Copertina flessibileAcquisto verificatoAs someone reading through this the first time it really is amazing despite the fact it was printed years ago my skill has already started increasing. The book shows you really helpful things and tips and tricks that online tutorials miss out (Not surprising since this is from the creators of the language themselves) it is much more detailed and gives you much more useful information and functions than you'll find online, and it also give you understanding and logic behind it and explains why you do some stuff and not others. The Language used in this book is intermediate so it's not dumbed down, meaning It will not teach you programming absolutely from 0% Scratch you need to have some familiarity with the terms and ideas like Variables, Strings, Functions, Compilers all the basic things. Any basic familiarity understanding or experience in other basic languages will do like Python, Java, Lua or whatever. Other than that you should be alright and the book explains the more complex concepts and gradually you'll gain the skills needed to write more complex programs.
If you want to be an expert I'd definitely recommend this book. This book also gives example programs and tutorials and explains every line it writes, but don't over explain it, as in they come back to some things later on in the book as not to distract from the main thing being taught at the point you are at. This book also tries not to do too much hand holding and gives you exercises to write programs for yourself and lets you figure out some stuff by yourself as it acknowledges that the best way to learn to program is to actually do it rather than just read about it. I haven't ran into any compatibility issues yet meaning that none of the things the books have taught me so far hasn't worked because of the age of the book, all the things I've learnt so far you are still able to apply when coding without running into errors when compiling and running, if you do they're usually minor and can be fixed with a quick google search but its rare when you do. Anyhow this book has a nice clear contents page and references to things like useful libraries and functions you can include when coding, so you can find the section relevant to you if you wish.
This book also has a lot of content to cover so you'll always be learning new things and getting better, it starts of with a nice tutorial introduction to ease you in. Other books I've read on C are usually very very basic and underwhelming and you end up already knowing like 90% of the things taught, whereas this book actually shows you everything. Although don't expect it to constantly hold your hand. If you have a drive for learning and you're determined to write programs this book is definitely for you if you're lazy and want a (Learn programming language in 24hrs or 7days) guide and shortcuts this isn't for you, neither is that even realistic.
I'm definitely gonna stick with this book!

Curtis DyerRecensito negli Stati Uniti il 12 luglio 20095,0 su 5 stelle Authoritative, Concise, and Elegant
Formato: Copertina flessibileAcquisto verificatoIn 1988, The C Programming Language, 2nd Edition (affectionately referred to as K&R2) was first printed. Despite the passing of so many years, C's syntax and semantics have remained fairly stable. It is then fitting that K&R2 remains the de facto manual and reference for helping programmers get acquainted with the C programming language. Dennis M. Ritchie, one of the co-authors, is the original designer of C and also helped design the Unix operating system in the '60s. Brian Kernighan also helped with the design of Unix, AWK, and is noted for creating other well-known Unix programs.
Not only are the authors well qualified, but they communicate very effectively in concise and clear language. The authors do not pander or condescend to readers. They make no claims to teach C in only one day; they actually expect readers to have a basic grasp on various programming concepts. The authors show an earnest desire to help programmers learn the language. The code examples provided are very helpful and exceptionally elegantly coded. As other reviewers have noted, they help instill good coding habits from the start.
K&R2 provides a helpful introduction to programmers, which gives an overview of what the C programming language is (and is not). The introduction explains C's typing system and basic features. The meat of the book is well organized into chapters that sequentially build upon previous chapters. Chapter 5, "Pointers and Arrays," for example, does a great job at elucidating a difficult computer science concept. A lot of people are well aware of nasty bugs deriving from using pointers and arrays, but the authors explain pointers and arrays in a very clear way, which draws the important distinctions between them.
After the main tutorial chapters, the appendix follows in an amazingly compact, yet thorough reference, which includes a C grammar, overview of the standard libraries, and more. Oftentimes, this reference is the most convenient and concise source for information (note that the C Standard is *the* authoritative source on the C specification). For example, the section covering the "*printf" and "*scanf" conversion specifiers is extremely helpful and much easier to digest than most man pages.
For such a relatively small text, it's amazing how thorough it is. Although it's no substitute for having a copy of the ISO C Standard at hand, it's still an indispensable reference to have. Also, since C99 has yet to be fully implemented on many common implementations, developers still look to the ANSI C standard for ensuring their code is as portable as possible.
I feel K&R2 is the best reference for learning C; it has been considered canon for all these years for a reason.
