The typos and translation quality become truly disappointing as you progress toward the later sections. I would have overlooked simple errors, but there are many fatal ones. Curious as to why this was the case compared to the clean translation in the beginning, I read through it while compiling my own errata, eventually leading me to purchase the 5th edition separately to compare them. The 6th edition appears to be based on Yoon Sung-il's translation of the 5th edition, with only partial
Every detail is very thorough, and it is very helpful if you can read it carefully from beginning to end. Unlike other superficial introductory books, it aims for completeness. However, the video lectures provided by Seonganddang are of poor quality. They also contain many incorrect explanations. Thinking of watching the videos like an online course is a mistake. It is actually better to finish the book and then watch the videos to identify where the speaker makes mistakes in explanations or
There aren't enough typos to hinder reading. I actually noticed many errors naturally as I read on. It might be difficult for absolute beginners, but for those like me who have studied C on their own, it is suitable and covers a wide range of topics. There seem to be quite a few typos in the latter part. In particular, there are some errors in the example code regarding function pointers after the section on structures. However, it is not enough to interfere with understanding the overall flow.
A truly excellent book for steadily building a foundation in programming, covering everything from the historical background of C to development standards.
It explains the C language in detail, so I think it will be very helpful if you read it consistently.
I confidently assert that this is the best book I have ever studied. Reading this will make you a Ph.D. in poetry. I highly recommend it to all engineering students.
The book in the school library was the 3rd edition. The translation was good and the explanations for the examples were helpful, so I decided to buy it. I'm afraid to read it again because there are so many pages, but... I'm giving it a try.
Stephen Prata: C Basic Plus
*C Basics Plus* is widely regarded as the finest C textbook ever produced. Having won the "Best Computer Book" award from the Computer Book Publishers Association of America in 1990, this book is widely known as a university textbook and is recognized as an in-depth introductory text that serves as an essential course for anyone new to C. The 6th edition, released after a long hiatus following the 5th, includes even richer and more detailed content, incorporating the latest C11 standard. Offering free video lectures at bm.cyber.co.kr, this book is widely used as a university textbook and training guide for new employees, particularly for its thorough explanation of C's conceptual and logical syntax. The 5th printing of this newly published 6th edition has been supplemented through verification and corrections based on feedback from previous readers. This book is a comprehensive guide to the C language, meticulously tested and refined to provide the core topics that programmers and developers must know. A classic of computer science that has sold 550,000 copies worldwide up to its previous 5th edition, this book kindly explains the principles of programming, including structured code and top-down design. Stephen Prata, a respected author and educator, introduces C in an informative, clear, and insightful manner. He explains the basic concepts of programming alongside the specifics of the C language. By explaining only one or two concepts at a time through short, practical examples, readers can easily grasp new topics, immediately input the examples, and fully master their usage.
