I learned the basics of programming on this course.
. C is cool and sometimes boring, .
we still didn't finish the book, . we gonna complete on it next semester,

Wah akhirnya aku baca bukbuku seperti ini juga.
Ajaibnya, setelah aku lulus kuliah, Hihihi . . Great beginner book for learning Object oriented programming and C Good introduction and well written up to chapter, Things fall apart in Chapter, It did a better job explaining and using inheritance and polymorphism compared to Dale C Data Structures, In general the example code in this book is without error, Needs to be more detailed regarding operator overloads, I received this book as a gift when I wasyears old and it changed my life, I'm now an artificial intelligence software engineer, This was a very clear and concise introduction to basic programming task with C, I especially enjoyed the personality and selected quotes that started each section, It's shallow depth and vagueness do not justify its length, The author's frequent tangents add nothing to the Problem Solving with C++'s content and detract from the flow of his writing, Many of these little distractions would be better footnote clarifications, Furthermore, the author's style intimately links the presented content with far too frequent, cumbersome examples, And at the end of each section, the exercises are often dependent on the example code,
What's worse, Savitch can be inconsistent and misleading with the level of detail with which he relays information, For example, he often conflates the standardization of certain C features with their widespread adoption in his explanation, not in his understanding I'm sure.
The quality of the book also sharply declines in the last few chapters, I stumbled over quite a few oddlyworded descriptions and uninspired examples, and I caught several glaring typos despite skimming faster than ever as I neared the end.
It's not a bad book, however, not at all, What it offers is a very highlevel and very accessible introduction to the C language, After reading it minus the appendices, I would consider myself a proficient novice in C, My problem with its method is that it's not for me, One could learn C for free with a language reference like sitelink cppreference. com/w/. The advantage of a textbook is that it inherently offers a structured approach and hopefully facilitates deeper learning from a practical, experienced perspective.
This book falters on the latter front in all but the most basic rules of thumb, while its odd structure is cumbersome for the novice.
I disagree with the "blackbox" approach this book takes, especially with regard to classes and structs, withholding their explanation until after introducing several examples of them like strings, streams, and vectors.
I do not recommend reading Savitch's introduction to the timeconstrained, the impatient, and anyone fond of brevity, doubly so if the wouldbe reader has previous programming experience: it is a pain to observe Savitch dance around calling a class a class for the first several chapters.
While shiny new tools and toys are fun to use their early introduction is a disservice to learning, in my opinion, I'd rather read about vectors, which appear in the first few chapters, with templates and the rest of the STL for the first time, described toward the very end, than wait over ten chapters finally to justify their existence.
I read this book before starting a C class and I thought this book was much better written than the book were using in class.
I think Savitch did a good job breaking down the code examples well for a beginner and introduces things at the perfect rate.
I thought the chapters needed a little reorganizing though, as it seemed like some of the concepts were introduced in a weird order.
But I noticed that the newer editions have pretty drastic
changes in chapter numbers, so maybe that's been fixed, This book would be a little slow for people who already know a object oriented coding language, Very good book to understand the basics of c and programming in general, Based on the idea that readers are more likely to use a method successfully if they learn it early, this guide teaches programming in C in a style suitable for the novice.
It introduces the use of classes shows how to write ADTs that maximize the perfomance of C in creating reusable code and provides coverage of all important OO functions, including inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation.
