A good friend of mine worked in a Java shop and preferred C over Java, but didn't have a choice. He complained "Java doesn't use pointers and wastes time doing boundary checks. It's like C with...

I still have my original K&R book...paid $8.95 for it! Indeed, I became a convert to C because of that book and tried my best to "sell" it to others in the late 1970's. Honestly, I was not formally...

Most of you are seasoned programmers, but there's a significant knot of people here who are not. I am a retired professor from Purdue University's College of Technology and author of 20...
