Abstract

In the classroom of today, students learning C often have experience in one or more languages such as BASIC, COBOL or Pascal. With the possible exception of students with Assembler skills, many of these individuals stumble when making the change to C. This review of the teaching and learning processes surrounding C highlights areas where students either face misunderstandings or will predictably under-use new features.
