This is my first C programming book and to be honest, I find this book to be difficult in its exercises.
Many of the exercises are vague and few express to the reader what the author is actually looking for.
I am a college student, who has wanted to throw this frustrating book on several occaisions and its usually after I have taken problems I have played with for an entire day ( or Days) to my instructor, and it takes him hours to figure out how to resolve the problems
In General I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who didn't have previous experience with C programming. A lot of the problems I have dealt could have been solved with One little solution -- The Authors ansewers to the Authors Exercises.
I'm not lazy and I don't want you to give me anything but when you totally lose me I'd like an answer so I can see where I went astray.
