Are you new to programming?

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

It is very common to have problems-Headaches in C, even if you are an expert C programmer.

The author of this book has written many nice books but this does not mean that every good book is ideal for everyone. Even worse there is no chance to be a complete programmer by reading just one book.

If you think that there is a problem with the translation then share it with your friends at the university. If it is a code-concept problem you may post the listing or your questions here and we will try to help You.

 If you want to pass the class you just need the internet, no book.  But if you really want to learn C, there is only one book you should have: The C Programming Language, second edition (Ansi C) by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.  Dennis Ritchie is the guy who created the C language.  It's the one book recommended for C programmers.  But it is kind of expensive.  I think I paid $50.
