The book is praised for its conversational tone and practical, step-by-step approach to the following: Understanding pointers in C : Kanetkar, Yashavant P

/* ---------- 3. Function pointer callback ---------- */ int add(int a, int b) return a + b; int mul(int a, int b) return a * b;

If you want to learn more about pointers in C, I recommend checking out Yashwant Kanetkar's book "Let Us C" or searching for online resources. With practice and patience, you'll become a master of pointers in no time!

This book is dedicated entirely to mastering pointers, which Kanetkar famously describes as essential for any C programmer—likening a programmer without pointer knowledge to a "fish which doesn't know how to swim".

"In C programming, a pointer is like this catalog. It stores the address of a variable, just like the catalog stores the address of a book. When you want to access the variable, you can use the pointer to find its location in memory."
