This book by Jens Gustedt, a member of the ISO C standards committee, gets readers up to speed with C23. The book is a fast-paced introduction to the C language, with special attention on its most modern features. It starts with a quick review of structure, grammar, and execution and then progresses quickly to control structures, data types, operators, and other core language features. Fully revised for C23, this expanded Third Edition covers compound expressions and lambdas, new insights into approaching program failure, and how to transition smoothly to C23.
