Product Description
From Amazon
C Traps and Pitfalls teaches how the peculiarities of the C language make it easy for the intended behavior of a program and the actual behavior of a program to differ. The book's experienced author, Koenig, follows up with examples and helpful advice on many of these "pitfalls." Each chapter includes exercises for contemplation with accompanying discussions at the end of the book.
Book Description
Even C experts come across problems that require days of debugging to fix. This book helps to prevent such problems by showing how C programmers get themselves into trouble. Each of the book's many examples has trapped a professional programmer. In addition to its examples, C Traps and Pitfalls offers advice on- avoiding off-by-one errors, understanding and constructing function declarations, understanding the subtle relationship between pointers and arrays. Distilled from the author's experience over a decade of programming in C, this book is an ideal resource for anyone, novice or expert, who has ever written a C program.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a must read for c programmers,
By A Customer
This review is from: C Traps and Pitfalls (Paperback)
This is a very interesting book. It's titled "c traps and pitfalls", yet talks all about the beauty of c. You will need some fundamental knowledge of computer systems and programming; however, you don't need to be a serious programmer to adventure this book, because while you are enjoying reading it, you are becoming one yourself.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Obviously a must have, but maybe just to keep.,

This review is from: C Traps and Pitfalls (Paperback)
This book is a must have and you must have read it at least once. Then again, I have read it once and will only use it as a quick reference. For more elaborate information I will look for (my) other books that will tell the same in a more fluent and up to date style (read: Expert C Programming).This book shows all the pitfalls in a convenient compact volume. If you are NOT a sloppy programmer you might dislike many of the more obvious examples . . then again, you might do some maintenance on "someone else's code".

You must read this book.,
By From_Plano_TX "a_customer_from_plano" (Plano, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: C Traps and Pitfalls (Paperback)
If you program in C or C++, you must read this book if you want to consider yourself a superior programmer. If you are a college student, definitely read this book. Koenig fills in a lot of gaps left by authors of introductory books on C or C++. Why do I mention C++? Because C++ is far more than just objects and classes. The lower level implementation of functions is still basically C programming. He includes chapters on linkage, the preprocessor, and portability. It is a short book that is definitely worth reading.
