This Algopath eBook is designed to explain the process of C programming with visual animations. You can use your mouse or keyboard to step forward (or backward) through a program and see exactly which line is being executed and how memory is changed at each step. Each program line is highlighted as it executes and changes in memory are demonstrated immediately. With dozens of programs carefully explained using thousands of animation steps, this eBook guides you through the difficult aspects of C programming. The concepts of scope, decisions, arrays and pointers come alive on your computer screen. Critical issues like array-out-of-bounds accesses, pointer manipulation and memory leaks are explained with lively, colored animations. Developed by an experienced academic, this eBook is ideal for the beginning or intermediate student of C programming. Advanced students will gain fresh insight into many aspects of the C programming language. This eBook is designed for use with Adobe® Reader® 7.0. If loaded into Adobe® Digital Editions, the animations will work correctly, but some of the other features, such as annotations, may be unavailable. Part 1 covers Scopes, Loops & Decisions.
