For introductory courses in C Programming. Also for courses in Programming for Engineers, Programming for Business, and Programming for Technology.The Deitels' How to Program series offers unparalleled breadth and depth of object-oriented programming concepts and intermediate-level topics for further study. Using the Deitels' signature "Live-Code™ Approach," this complete, authoritative introduction to C programming introduces fundamentals of structured programming, and covers relevant features of C language's C-201X standard. It also includes an updated treatment of C++ for those who want to transition to object-oriented concepts. Finally, new material on security is added to this edition.
