A much more complete book than K&R is "C: A Reference Manual", which has much better explanations. See it here: http://careferencemanual.com/ http://careferencemanual.com/, at its home page. Or at Amazon here: http://www.amazon.com/Reference-Manual-5th-Edition/dp/013089592X http://www.amazon.com/Reference-Manual-5th-Edition/dp/013089.... Turn to this book when you have questions. The authors are Harbison and Steele. If you become a C programmer, you will want and need this book. So you may as well get a copy now. Another (more advanced) book is The C Puzzle Book. http://www.amazon.com/The-Puzzle-Book-Alan-Feuer/dp/0201604612 http://www.amazon.com/The-Puzzle-Book-Alan-Feuer/dp/02016046.... It's older and I'm not sure it's totally up-to-date with the latest version of C. But it's still very valuable. If you finish this book, you will be a C ninja, and it isn't too hard. K&R is outdated, in my opinion, because it is too skimpy.
