C How to Program: With Case Studies in Applications and Systems Programming, Global Edition

This print textbook is available for students to rent for their classes. The Pearson print rental program provides students with affordable access to learning materials, so they come to class ready to succeed.

For courses in computer programming .

A user-friendly, code-intensive introduction to C programming with case studies introducing applications and system programming
C How to Program is a comprehensive introduction to programming in C. Like other texts of the Deitels How to Program series, the book s modular presentation serves as a detailed beginner source of information for college students looking to embark on a career in coding, or instructors and software-development professionals seeking to learn how to program with C. The signature Deitel live-code approach presents concepts in the context of 142 full-working programs rather than incomplete snips of code. This gives students a chance to run each program as they study it and see how their learning applies to real-world programming scenarios

Current standards, contemporary practice, and hands-on learning opportunities are integrated throughout the 9th Edition. Over 340 new integrated Self-Check exercises with answers allow students to test their understanding of important concepts and check their code as they read. New and enhanced case studies and exercises use real-world data and focus on the latest ACM/IEEE computing curricula recommendations, highlighting security, data science, ethics, privacy, and performance concepts.

This title is also available digitally as a standalone Pearson eText, or via MyLab, which includes the Pearson eText
MyLab® empowers you to reach every student. This flexible digital platform combines unrivaled content, online assessments, and customizable features so you can personalize learning and improve results, one student at a time. With MyLab Programming, students work through hundreds of short, auto-graded coding exercises and receive immediate and helpful feedback based on their work. Learn more about MyLab Programming.

Pearson eText is an easy-to-use digital textbook available within MyLab that lets students read, highlight, take notes, and review key vocabulary all in one place. If you re not using MyLab, students can purchase Pearson eText on their own or you can assign it as a course to schedule readings, view student usage analytics, and share your own notes with students.
