The fifth chapter in Stephen Prata’s C Primer Plus. It deals with statements and the while loop. Curiously, in Prat’s book, while comes before if/else in terms of presentation; while in programming, loops are often taught already after conditional statements. … Continue reading →

The fourth chapter in Stephen Prat’s C Primer Plus. Programming exercises and their solutions: 1. Write a program that asks for the first and last name and then outputs them in the format last name, first name.

The third chapter in Stephen Prata’s C Primer Plus. Programming exercises and their solutions: 1. Experiment with how your system handles integer and floating point overflows and floating point underflows; those. write a program that has such problems. (See the … Continue reading →

The second chapter in Stephen Prata’s C Primer Plus. Here the first practical tasks already appear; albeit extremely simple, for memorizing the basic syntax; therefore, I will not give their output separately. Before the tasks, a small reminder: 5 Types … Continue reading →
