Both are classics. I have partly read the K&R book, and it is THE 
reference book for C. Mind you it isn't geared toward beginners, but 
for someone who is familiar with basic concepts of programming, this is 
a fine book.

However, the second edition (which I thkink is the last one to date) is 
written in 88 or 89, and it addresses ANSI C 89 standard, not the newer 
C 99, so if you want to start with the newest rules, look else weher. 
Of course most compilers are fully backward compatible, and most of the 
have not yet fully implemented C 99, so C 89 is still a widely used.

Also Arash, please in the future do not put parantheses in the name of 
the file, cause many download managers like wget and axel have problems 
with it. The book by Bjarne Stroustrup has parantheses in the file 
name.

Thanks for making them available digitally. It is great to have them on 
my computer.
