Terrible overall and entirely wrong in multiple places. If you learn C from this book, you should't be writing C.

The last bit is also true for K&R The C Programming Language (avoid at all costs).

You're better off with:

- Modern C (whatever edition is current)

- Seacord's Effective C: Introduction to professional C programming

- C Programming: Modern Approach 2nd edition (bible)
