The C Answer Book

Rating:
Summary: good, if derivative
Review: I did not know that this book existed. Now I do, and I heartily recommend it as a companion to the Kernigan and Ritchie "Bible" also known as "The C Programming Language."

Summary: Great Solution Guide
Review: I took the C programming class from Dr. Tondo and I appreciate the clarity of his explanations which are included in this book. 5 stars sure! This book is a little gem...

Rating:
Summary: It's short a star for a good reason.
Review: The book it answers, "The C Programming Language", is one that every C programmer probably owns and with good reason. This answer guide is a necessary complement to those of us who are curious about the authors' solutions.

Maybe you need the extra explanations; I know I did at times, if only to clarify or validate my thought processes. If you have a professor using "The C Progamming Language" as the primary textbook, you won't need this book. However, if you're going it alone, it's a good complement to self-study because it will engage you in some rational dialogue about the solution methodology.

That's the final star; if the book discussed rationale a bit more, it would merit the fifth star.

Review: This book contains solutions to all the questions and exercises in the K&R C second edition. If you can figure everything out easily, then you don't need this book. If you want to cheat or need some help, get this book. I have it as a reference and to show my students.
