C Programming Language

Welcome to the C community!

C is quirky, flawed, and an enormous success.
... When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
... The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it.

hello, i am a student coder and i am spending more time trying to handle the f...ing input than i spend on algorithmization of the problem. could someone recommend some good study source, please?

i would like both the explanatory part, as well as some set of practice exercises that would really cover all possible variations.

thank you.

A free book is Modern C, Third Edition, which covers C23. You will want to use section 3 only as a reference. Because that last section covers advanced topics such as threading where you will probably choose another language rather than implement your program in C. But this book covers some essentials not in K&R, such as unicode.
