## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Great review and clear explanation of concepts in some new ways
  

*by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2019*

I'm almost through with this book and it's cleared up a lot of things about C that I never really got before, and inspired me to write some code to test them out. I'm especially happy with the author's emphasis on how C variables and data constructs relate to how data is stored and manipulated on the hardware level- it's explained to me why some things are the way they are in C. Other books seem to just present how to write this or that routine but don't really get into why it's done or how it makes it more efficient once it's translated into CPU instructions, for instance.One thing I was a little shaky about was the declaration of pointers - I need to go back and reread it and it will probably make sense, but at first I was confused at why the author would write something like "int  *p;" to mean "declare p as a pointer of type int", but also write it as "int*  p" to mean the same thing. I'm sure if I reread the "Is int* a Type" section it will make sense, but I was a little perplexed at first.Anyway I'm particularly liking the bitwise operator section because I'm planning to do some experimentation with Linux on some low-level hardware like an IoT device or color framebuffer.

    Nice textbook
  

*by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 10, 2021*

Had to read this book for school. The author is comprehensible and incredibly lucid. It was a nice review of what I knew and intro to what I did not know.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A good C book leaning towards microcontrollers
  

*by F***D on Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2022*

4 instead of 5 stars only because there are better books out there with more detail for  learning traditional C. I got a copy because he does a good job covering some of the lower level type capabilities of C for things like Micro-controllers (that's why I bought it). It'll teach the fundamentals of C but if you are a beginner with zero C experience you might benefit from a thicker book that covers more examples and the topics a bit deeper. Overall no regrets on the purchase.I haven't programmed in C in 20 years but I work in I.T. and I can follow code for the most part. This was good for me since I needed to just be able to look up how C handles certain things and the syntax, it has also helped with my real reason which was programming (in C) for my Raspberry Pico for all sorts of IoT projects. I have all of the authors C books for Raspberry as well. Between them all I can extract almost anything I need and if there's a gap I use this invention called the internet!!! :)
