Introduction
Welcome final attempt to understand the C programming language. Although I can’t promise that you’ll become a C guru after wading through this text, I can guarantee that you will

1.Know how to recognize a C program and, when one is grouped with an IRS Form 1040, the morning stock report, baseball statistics, and anything written in Braille, you’ll be able to pick out which one is the C program.
2.Be able to write C programs that no other publisher would let an author print in its C books.
3.Appreciate the following code, but be unable to use it at cocktail parties to impress your friends:
while(dead_horse) beat();
Find out how to speak in C Talk, which is the ability to look at character groupings, such as printf, putchar, and clock, and pronounce them as “print-f,” “put-kar,” and “see-lock.”
Have fun. I can’t really guarantee that last point. However, this book was written minus the sword of mathematics hanging over anyone’s head. Let’s leave stern programming up to those who fuss over Avogadro’s number and Fibonacci sequences and who debate the merits of how to indent their C program source code. Serious work is for the nerds. Fun happens when you read C For Dummies, 2nd Edition.

"What Will Understanding C Do for Me?”
Look at your computer screen. Imagine something happening there. Anything. As long as you know how to program a computer, what you imagine will take place. Okay, maybe not as fast as you like — but it can be done. Programming is the ultimate way to get even with a computer. You are in charge. You tell the beast what to do. And it will obey you, even when you tell it to do something stupid. Computers are fast and obedient, not smart. Anything your computer does, any devices it talks with or contr controls, can be manipulated by using a programming language and writing programs that pull the right levers. The C programming language has been crowned the best and most common way to program any personal computer. C may not be the easiest programming language to figure out, but it’s not the most difficult, either. It’s tremendously popular and well supported, which makes it a good choice. ols,
