John:
I'll add my last comment to this thread.
Because u expressed 2 me some difficulty w/the textbook you're
currently using & because I think 1 of the best ways to learn concepts
is to hear them stated in various ways by various authors till u find
1 or more that click w/u, I offer the following url w/a bunch of free
c online books. Have at it. Particularly look at Sam's Teach
Yourself C in 24 hours, but there's other good stuff there as well.
