The C Programming Language
The C language has been around for over 25 years now, so there’s certainly no dearth of
information on the subject.The following is just the tip of the iceberg.
Books
Kernighan, Brian W., and Dennis M. Ritchie. The C Programming Language, 2nd Ed.
Englewood-Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, Inc., 1988.
This has always been the bible as far as a reference for the language goes. It was the
first book ever written about C, cowritten by Dennis Ritchie, who created the language.
Harbison, Samuel P. III, and Guy L. Steele Jr. C:A Reference Manual, 5th Ed. Englewood-
Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, Inc., 2002.
Another excellent reference book for C programmers.
Plauger, P. J. The Standard C Library. Englewood-Cliffs, NJ: Prentice Hall, Inc., 1992.
This book covers the standard C library, but as you can see from the publication date,
does not cover any of the ANSI C99 additions (such as the complex math library).
