Nope - you absolutely need it on your bookshelf - it will live on your desk though.
It's a reference for all the ANSI functions - so for example if you need to copy the contents of one string to another then you'll use the strcpy function - this book will give you everything you need to know about the strcpy function - what parameters it takes, what return code, what it does when you supply duff information to it etc etc.
In terms of a spoken language - this is like a dictionary.
You really need to read through it a few times - not memorising it, just knowing what's in there and how to find it when you need it.
Buy it with the solid code book and you'll have enough to keep you busy for a few years.
Thanks mate , just keeping my eye out for a bargain copy nowIt's a reference for all the ANSI functions - so for example if you need to copy the contents of one string to another then you'll use the strcpy function - this book will give you everything you need to know about the strcpy function - what parameters it takes, what return code, what it does when you supply duff information to it etc etc.
