The C Programming Language

With special mentions to K&R

"The C Programming Language", by Kernighan and Ritchie.

The C programming language (ansi edition)

K&R

The C Programming Language

The K&R C book.

K&R (yes, it's outdated now, but it is still a fine model for how to write a clear and concise textbook).

I remember reading 'The C programming language'

Using K&R, I try to practice the problems and understand them to learn C.

another vote for K&R "The C Programming Language" - for the sheer joy of it!

the only c book I've read was the k&r book. It seemed fine.

what I used was "The C Programming Language" book. It was a great experience

Here's another vote for K&R.

K&R is a must have for any C programmer.

K&R would put C in historical context.

reading K&R is a must

Regarding K&R C, you should read it for its historical relevance to the C programming language

Just read K&R C 2nd ed

K&R is a bit more intermediate. Come back to it when you're more experienced.

K&R is so obsolete it's now wrong about some things.

Here's my advice to the original poster: If you come across unsubstantiated comments telling you to ignore K&R for all the bad things it contains, then ignore those.

K&R was a very interesting read for me

K&R 2nd Edition is still a very good read of course

34 year old book

K & R

Obviously TAOCP, SICP, K&R, and other books in their ranks are better answers.

K&R

Kernighan & Ritchie C (I learn/interpret either something new about C or marvel the art of precise writing)

Yes!

I was also my first book and I read it carefully and multiple times when I was young.

I still haven't found another programming book as good as K&R

I read that book, more than once.

K&R. It was the best programming book I read.
