Millions of students and professionals around the world learn programming with Dietel's books, videos, online articles, and resource centers. The C Programming 7th edition introduces procedural programming in C and object-oriented and generic programming in C++. It is suitable for introductory and intermediate level courses in C and C++.

The C Programming 7th edition includes the following: The main features of the new C standard are covered in independent sections and an appendix that you can study in any order you prefer. New sections on Secure C programming. Code tested with GNU gcc and Visual C++. Debugging with GNU gdb and Visual C++. Problem solving, data types, control statements, functions, arrays, pointers, strings, formatted I/O, structures, unions, bit manipulation, enumerations, files, data structures, preprocessing, and more. "Make a Difference" exercises. A new approach to object-oriented programming in C++ that is based on C++ Programming 8th edition. Searching and sorting with a presentation of Big O. Much more (for more information, see the Preface).

Comments on recent editions: "The extensive examples, along with the explanatory text, are the best of all the C books I have studied. Running the code for the examples provided in conjunction with reading the text gives students the perfect environment to deeply understand how C works." - Tom Rethard, University of Texas, Arlington. "A great introduction to the C programming language and software engineering science. It is modern and updated with all the latest developments in the software field. It teaches pseudocode, flowcharts, algorithms, and various approaches to the problem-solving process. There are several fun and extremely interesting exercises that draw me into programming." - Vytautus Leonavicius, Microsoft.

"I love the quality of the writing – well-crafted, well-structured, touches on significant topics, and describes common mistakes of beginners very well. Nice presentation of binary search. The example with shuffling cards provides a comprehensive solution to the problem with nice pseudocode, great commands, and explanations. The exercise with the maze is extremely interesting. Nice example for handling signatures." - Vytautus Leonavicius, Microsoft.

"It presents programming with C and prepares you for the job market, with best practices and programming tips that will help you become capable and desirable candidates. Nice explanation for multiple platforms (with Visual C++ on Windows, CNU C on Linux, and CNU C on Mac OS Z)."
