Title: Not updated to current ANSI standard!
Review: The preface by the author suggests that the second (current) edtion reflects the current ANSI standard.('The sample programs conforms to the ANSI C standard').I found examples where it does not:On page 294, the author states that 'an array within a function MUST be defined as a STATIC array so that it can be initialized'.The are numerous examples which correspond the classic C but not the ANSI C:Exmaples 10.14, 10.12..A statement on page 215: 'automatic arrays can not be initialized" is not also correct'.The back cover of the book suggests: 'if your goal is better comprehension or top grades. this powerful study tool [...] is the closest thing to a guarantee you will find anywhere'.In fact, if your answers during an exam are based on the examples cited, you are expected to get a lower grade.
