considers general programming principles, consistent with methods of abstraction, structured programming and step-wise refinement.
emphasizes programming into a programming language, not in it — with a focus on data and its representations well as commands.
features a number of major case studies that illustrate various aspects of the C language, fundamental computing algorithms and systematic program design.
contains many complete programs — all reproduced directly from the computer and executable on any machine supported by a standard C compiler.
