Language

The Language section of the standard provides all the details associated with the C syntax, including what a variable is, how to write a function, the difference between a for() loop and a while() loop, and all of the operators that are supported and how they work.

This book assumes the reader has general knowledge of this section of the standard, and only touches on system programming-specific nuances of the standard C syntax that the reader is likely to run into (such as issues associated with pointers).
