Test Your C Skills
Test Your C Skills, a detailed book about the C programming language, forms an important part of interview preparations for placement in IT companies in India.
Test Your C Skills, a book by Yashavant Kanetkar, is a definitive guidebook that helps its readers grasp the basic as well as advanced concepts of the C, a general-purpose computer programming language.
Sound knowledge of C is one of the important criteria considered for recruitment in the software development industry in India. Companies often conduct written tests in C as part of their recruitment process.
This book serves a comprehensive guide that helps build and strengthen the reader’s knowledge of C. It begins with an introduction to C. This is followed by various C concepts such as declaration and initialization, control instructions, expressions, functions, the C pre-processor, pointers, arrays, and strings.
The more complex topics such as structure, unions, enumerations, bitwise operators, command line arguments, memory allocation, and library functions are covered in the later chapters.
Instead of adopting the normal approach of discussing theoretical concepts one after another, the book takes a different approach. It explains concepts in a question and answer format. There are a total of 1000 questions in the book. Each question highlights a certain concept. It is accompanied by a detailed solution which lucidly explains the theoretical and practical aspects of the concept in question.
