This book was so bad it inspired a new word:

I'm going to start using this word :D

That's a different book than the one I was referring to. I was referring to The Annotated ANSI C Standard: American National Standard for Programming Languages-C : Ansi/Iso 9899-1990.

Thanks, although I’m puzzled after reading that Schildt has “clear style that leaves the reader confident but dangerously ignorant.” [0]

I learned C in the early 90's with one of Schildt books. I actually did learn something. So there is that. It has a place close to my heart but I have to agree with most. It's not a great book.

I wish I would have a couple of good examples at hand, though
