Thank you.

I'm assuming you mean that you have to "take a test in C." Obviously, there's no one answer to this question, people have different opinions.

My .02:

The C Programming Language 2nd Edition - Kernighan & Ritchie

C: A Reference Manual - Harbison & Steele

I second russ's recommendations. I have both of these books on my desk. I find that K&R is a good tutorial (it reads well) but Harbison is a good reference book (it reads poorly).

Regards,

I definitely recommend "The C Programming Language 2nd Edition" it is, after all, written by the guys who developed the C language.

Also, you might want to look at the C section in this site, which has good reviews on a number of C books:

I can't recommend a book but I can recommend a lot of books. My advice is you to read more, and take the easiest to understand. John Fill

There is no such thing like “the best book”. Each book gives you something and you must filter the information on your own taste and capabilities. You must read all you can put hand on. A (free) point to start is the C tutorials on the web.

My Option is
The C Programming Language, Second Edition By Brain W. Kernighan and Dennis M. Ritchie.

Hello ! Which book can you suggest for C programming for computer hardware. What I mean is i want a book which can give information about memoy locations so that I can call it from programm using pointers.

ex. memlocation 1047 controlls keyboard caps lock/numlock/insert. I can control it through program. similarly i want more information on for harddisk sectors , floppy drive etc.

Thanks

Hey jo,
I think every book in a particular topic like "understanding pointers in c by yeshwant kanitkar" is the best book i ve come across for pointers. so u choose the book as per the topic u need.
Thanx

When I was learning C, I liked "C Programming: A Modern Approach" by K.N. King Mise Le Meas,
