Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-16 00:00:00 Perry Gong This little book is a decent quick reference guide to the C programming language. I has most things you need, but unfortunately a lot of what you usually don't. I wish it was organized and prioritized better. It gives a long tutorial on the language itself, but skimps on the standard library, which is what most C programmers will need to refer to most often. When it does describe the standard library, it focuses too much on things most programmers don't use, such as all the new macros for complex numbers and trigonometry, but then glosses over string handling. It spells out the struct for lconv (which I've never used) and doesn't spell out the struct for tm (which I often use). For these reasons, I mostly stick to man pages and cppreference.com instead, but it's nice to have this on the desk while coding.
