You do realize this dude is a narcissist? Yeah I know, what are the odds online... 95%?  But, if you give him an inch he's gonna be right back to asking programming questions in the lounge again. He don't care. He's playing a game to see just how weak we are.

Yes, I am well aware of what he is, but I would use a different word. I was instrumental in getting him kicked off the site for abuse a year or so ago.

(curious) Does style (k&r) really matters ?

I've used "The ARM" (https://www.amazon.ca/Annotated-C-Reference-Manual/dp/0201514591[^]. It is very much in K&R style: only "meat and potatoes" without much "fluff".
Just like K&R, it is a bit dated now. It will serve you well to get the basic concepts but for templates and standard library stuff, you would need another book.

It's still in bad taste given the fact you obviously can't be trusted.

Why the fudge are you bolding crap? Do you honestly think we can't tell what you mean by that?

One could argue, given who you are, this still would've been better asked in the C++ forum. What you don't realize, personally, I'll never answer a question you ask... never. And I doubt I'm the only one.

a.) Understanding the language concept, syntax, ...
b.) Indentation style
In case you decide for b.) you should looking for another job

Rather than K&R for C++ you should be inquiring of Harbison & Steele for C++.

We should take the opportunity and praise the book K&R. After 36 years since the publication of the 2nd edition (1988) and 46 years since the 1st one (1978), it is still a masterpiece of programming that every young programmer should read carefully.
The importance of this book and of the "C" language to everithing that followed (C++, java, C# etc.) cannot be overestimated.
Ever wonder why all books write key words with proportional font and the rest of text with true-type?
K&R is a small book, but because it is very concise: every word counts - I would say every comma counts. Take for example the phrase that describes how to interprete a missing "else" from a nested "if" sequence: "...by associating the else with the closest previous else-less if."
One should read this book slowly and carefully, then run all the programs inside, solve all the exercises, and then read the book again.
Code examples are true marvels, from elementary to complex ones, like the Unix file implementation or the memory allocator.
The C reference manual and the description of the standard libraries af the end of the book are also splendid.
One should also consider the "C Problem Book" with answers to exercises.
You will never find a truly similar book for any other language or topic.
Rest in piece, DMR.

My oldest grand kid got bitten by technology , he is in rockets now, and at one point inquired about C.
I have given him one of my copies of K&R with this advise - read it as a novel FIRST - from cover to last cover... then pick a project of interest and follow the book code.
I am not sure he was OK with that advise, he dabbled in Python afterwords...

The book used when I took my first formal course in C++ at a university was:
"Problem Solving With C++" 'the Object of programming' by Walter Savitch
ISBN 0-8053-7440-X
Along with this, my professor had daily handouts, usually 1-4 pages long, of typed material about the language, and he went over the notes using his overhead-projector, and pointed out a lot of things. The professor retired a couple of years later, and the university's bookstore started self-publishing his classroom notes. The other professors all taught using different materials and texts, and this was just before Java got a foothold.
