Note that this book is often posted as the solutions manual for "Let Us C" by the same author.
With so many Degree / Diploma / Certificate programs being conducted in Computer Science and Information Technology it has indeed become difficult for software development companies to separate chaff from the grain. Hence many companies conduct written test in C language before conducting an interview. Though on the face it C language appears to be simple it has a number of features which can challenge the best in the field. Unless you fully understand what these features are and how they are used you would not be able to answer these tests confidently. Instead of taking the regular approach of discussing each of these features one by one, this book takes a different route. It highlights these features through questions, about 1000 of them. Answers are furnished for each question which illustrates the key points lucidly. Once you are through with this book you will be able to face these written tests with the confidence that ?I can do it?!
Review
A.V. Sharath claims:
"Test Your C Skills is a very popular book in India written by Yashwant Kanetkar. It contains questions and answers (most of which are objective type) to test the reader's C skills. This is one of the books that almost every engineering student in India reads while preparing for interviews and selection tests in companies. That is because many companies in India pick up questions from this book to test candidate's skills in their selection process.
Unfortunately, this book contains loads of non-standard, and misinformation about the C langauge. It deals with codes that are specific to 16bit Turbo C compiler (which is out-dated and broken). More than 40 % of the book deals with non-standard code. Many of the code snippets in book invoke undefined behavior, but the author goes on to give his own explanations to those codes. This instills students with bad and non-portable coding practices.
Contacting the author and publisher hasn't helped so far. They don't seem to bother as long as their book sells.
This page is intended to make the readers aware of the errors in this nasty book. The following are just a few of the errors out of the book. There are at least 10 times more errors than what I am listing here."
