Coauthored by Brian Kernighan, one of the pioneers of the C programming language, Practical Programming is a manual of good programming style that will help any C / C + + or Java developer create faster, more code maintained. the beginning to see some pitfalls C / C + +, to quote the real world many confusing or incorrect code. When it comes to data structures, such as arrays, linked lists, and trees, the authors compare the options available for C, C + +, Java, and even Perl developers with a random program-text-generation (using a sophisticated Markov chain algorithm) written for each language. The next sections cover debugging tips (including how to isolate errors with debugging statements) and testing strategies (both white-box testing and black-box) to verify the correctness of the code. A handy appendix summarizes dozens of tips offered in this book. With common sense expertise and various examples drawn from C, C + +, and Java, Programming Practice is an excellent resource to improve the style and performance of your code base.
