Practical C Programming, 3rd edition
by Steve Oualline


Here are the changes that were made for the 11/98 reprint:


{58} code example 3, line 3:  "main()" changed to "int main()"


{76} code sample 

    #include <stdio.h>
    signed char ver_short;   /* A very short integer */
    int temp;			/* A temporary number */

    int main()
    { 
            fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdin);
            sscanf("%d", &temp);
            very_short = temp;
    }

changed to

    #include <stdio.h>
    signed char ver_short;   /* A very short integer */
    char line[100];
    int temp;			/* A temporary number */

    int main()
    {
            fgets(line, sizeof(line), stdin);
            sscanf(line, "%d", &temp);
            very_short = temp;
    }


{128} both figures use the wrong delimiters for comments.

	/comment/

changed to

	/* comment */ 

To view the corrected figures, return to the main errata pages and
click on the links for Figure 9-1 and Figure 9-2.


(159) line -2, "Question: Why does test #3 fail to print Both are not 
zero #3?": "#3" was removed.


{163} Table 11-7:  the number 2 mistakenly appears in the rows 
"Binary Value >> 2", "Result", and "Final Result (Binary)".  

The table now appears as follows:

			 signed char 	signed chared 	unsigned char
Expression		 9 >> 2		-8 >> 2		248 >> 2
Binary Value >> 2	 0000 1010 >> 2	1111 1000 >> 2	1111 1000 >> 2
Result			 ??00 0010	??11 1110	??11 1110
Fill			 Sign Bit (0)	Sign Bit (1)	Zero
Final Result (Binary)	 0000 0010	1111 1110	0011 1110
Final Result (short int) 2		-2		62



{165} Table 11-11:  columns "Base 2 Equivalent" and "Result (Base 2)"
should not have number "2".  The binary numbers were corrected by removing 
the 2s.

C Representation      Base 2 Equivalent	    Result (Base 2)	Bit Number
1<<0		      00000001 << 0	    00000001		Bit 0
1<<1		      00000001 << 1	    00000010		Bit 1
1<<2 		      00000001 << 2	    00000100		Bit 2
1<<3		      00000001 << 3	    00001000		Bit 3
1<<4 		      00000001 << 4	    00010000		Bit 4
1<<5		      00000001 << 5	    00100000		Bit 5
1<<6 		      00000001 << 6	    01000000		Bit 6
1<<7		      00000001 << 7	    10000000		Bit 7


(185) code sample 1, line 1:  "Delcare"  changed to "Declare"


(195) para. 1, line 4:  "in programmer's using" changed to 
"in programmers using"


<266> blank space under line 1 ("where:") now shows the plus or minus
symbol


(266) in the line, "The IEEE has defined a floating-point standard (#742)..."
"742" changed to "754"


(348) "In this chapter" box:  bullet item 3 "37 (0 {2" changed to 
"Code Design"
