What is a good book for the C language? I understand the basics of programming, I really just need a good book that shows the syntax. I would preferably like one with a really good index and or appendices so if I need to say, for example, write an array, I can just go look up the syntax. Thanks for your help. Good evening, as a step by step => basic | even boring learning tool, I have found "Teach Yourself C in 24 Hours" by Sams Publishing to be ....ummmm...livable. One has to overlook the occaisional typo's and misspelled words: such as "aritemtic". However, as I work through that book page by page, completing all the exercises and READING EVERY WORD... I am developing a deep and lasting understanding of "C". I hope this helps. Regards, Z. Wade Hampton Missoula, MT Life on Earth just changed. Now it's up to you; good or evil.
