Essential C
By Nick Parlante Copyright 1996-2003, Nick Parlante
This Stanford CS Education document tries to summarize all the basic features of the C
language. The coverage is pretty quick, so it is most appropriate as review or for someone
with some programming background in another language. Topics include variables, int
types, floating point types, promotion, truncation, operators, control structures (if, while,
for), functions, value parameters, reference parameters, structs, pointers, arrays, the preprocessor,
and the standard C library functions.
