This caught my attention when one of the junior developers learning C pointed out the codes were either junk or giving unexpected outputs. The book has 4.5 stars in Amazon listings. On a little more investigation, it seems Herbert Schild's book has a systematic problem.

McGraw Hill still publishes editions of this & Schild's book is still selling a decent number of copies. Trouble is, people setting out to dabble with the language get tricked by "McGraw Hill" brand & the "Complete reference" monicker.

I still thinks C is a simple and beautiful language. However, C's standard libraries are really out-dated and error prone.
