New information has been added throughout the text to maintain relevancy of key concepts and discussions.

• Chapter 1 contains updated facts and figures about current technology trends and social networking to intrigue readers and get them excited about learning C. It also includes updated test-drivers that show students how to run a command-line C program on Linux, Windows, and OSX. Discussions of the Internet and web have been updated, and a new introduction to object technology has been added.
• All coverage of object oriented programming in C++ (Chapters 15-23) now includes material from Deitels’ 9th edition of C++ How to Program, up-to-date with C11 standards.
• The code-style throughout has been changed: spacing inside parentheses and brackets has been removed, and the use of commas has been reduced. Parentheses have been added to certain compound conditions for clarity.
• Improved compiler support has allowed variable declarations to be moved closer to where they’re first used and defined: for-loop counter-control variables in each for loop’s initialization section.
• Terminology throughout has been updated to reflect the most recent C standard to help students prepare for programming as a career.

Clear and carefully-paced pedagogy for introductory courses

• Summary Bullets replace end-of-chapter terminology lists from previous editions with detailed bullet-list summaries in each section that bold key terms and include page references to their defining sources.
• Examples and practice problems throughout the text have been updated and added to maintain relevancy.

MyProgrammingLab^® not included. Students, if MyProgrammingLab is a recommended/mandatory component of the course, please ask your instructor for the correct ISBN and course ID. MyProgrammingLab should only be purchased when required by an instructor. Instructors, contact your Pearson representative for more information.

• Interactive Practice gives students programming experience and first-hand programming experience in an interactive online environment.
• Error Messages for Incorrect Answers provides immediate personalized feedback when students practice programming questions. The error messages include both the feedback from the compiler and plain English interpretations of likely causes for the incorrect answer.
• Dynamic grading and assessment automatically grades student submissions, both saving you time, and offering students immediate learning opportunities.
  • A dynamic roster tracks their performance and maintains a record of submissions.
  • The color-coded gradebook gives you a quick glance of your classes' progress.
  • Easily drill down to receive information on a single student's performance or a specific problem.
  • Gradebook results can be exported to Excel to use with your LMS.
• Step-by-step VideoNote Tutorials enhance the programming concepts presented in your Pearson textbook by allowing students to view the entire problem-solving process outside of the classroom―when they need help the most.
• MyProgrammingLab has proven to help students learn how to program and has graded over 60,000,000 student submissions and counting. We’re able to mine our large database of submissions to make personalized feedback even better!
• Graduated complexity breaks problems down into short, understandable sequences of exercises, where each sequence relates to a particular topic. Within each sequence the level and sophistication of the exercises increase gradually but steadily.
