Preamble

This third addition of this book has been published by popular demand. I am very pleased by the way the book has been received by students, members of the teaching staff, and by software professionals in industry. On the whole the "no nonsense" approach of getting to the point without introducing hundreds of pages of basic information on how to program has been well received. Only two serious criticisms have been made about the first edition and these have been tackled in later editions. Firstly, some lecturers and some students complained there were no exercises in the book and secondly, some also complained there were not enough examples of C code. By including a set of exercises and a set of sample solutions I believe I have satisfied both requests together. Other improvements are relatively minor, an odd correction here, an odd expanded explanation there, but I believe the net result will be an even better book for students, teachers and software professionals alike. The only difference between the second and third edition is in the binding - this new edition should prove more robust.

Acknowledgements

I would like to thank Group D Publications for publishing this book. My thanks also go to the Department of Computer Studies, and in particular, Professor Jim Alty, for providing the money and resources to enable this book to be published. Finally I must thank my colleague, Satish Bedi, for his helpful comments on the first edition of this book, and for bringing to my attention the corrections required - he has made a significant contribution towards the improved accuracy of this edition.

Dedication

I would like thank my wife, Dawn, and my sons, Matthew and Alex, for their support while I was producing this book. I dedicate this book to them.

Ray Dawson
