Hi,

As i'm getting back to doing some C i got some books from amazon, will i
need anymore apart from these:

C The Complete Reference (Fourth Edition) - Herbert Schildt
The C Programming Language (Second Edition) - K & R
Teach Yourself C (Third Edition) - Herbert Schildt

The last 2 seem to teach the basics, but i thought having the K & R one
would also be useful aswell as the "Teach Yourself C" seeing as its by the
authors of C.

I have the 2.1 Developer CD now, not that i will need it for a while till i
have grasped ANSI C. I got it from Germany, all i got was the CD in a
transparent case, no inlay artwork! I was expecting a fancy cover inlay or
somat...

BTW i'm using DICE as i still have the printed v3 manual from when i bought
it quite some time ago b4 it went on Aminet, i have been doing some
examples using "float" variables and for some odd reason DICE outputs
"<float>" instead of the value!! Other data types output correctly, i am
compiling by typing "dcc test.c" then running "test".

This msg should really have gone to c-prog on yahoo groups... sorry!

Cya l8r
