Description:The Book explains each topic in depth without compromising the lucidity of the text and programs. This approach makes this book suitable for both novices and advanced programmers; the well-structured programs are easily understandable by the beginners and useful for the experienced programmers. The book can be used as tool for self-study as it provides step by step explanation and comes with solutions of all exercises. It explains all the basic concepts and doesn't assume that you know how to program. New features in the 3rd edition include a chapter on Recursion, through explanation of Bitwise Manipulation, new and improved programming examples, lots of new exercises ranging in difficulty, solutions to all the exercises and a CD that includes the code of all the programming examples and exercises. The book contains about 310 well explained programming examples to drive the concepts home and nearly 450 exercises which include many interesting and challenging programming exercises that will help you to sharpen your programming skill. The chapter on project development and library creation can help students in implementing their knowledge.Table Of Contents:Chapter 1 : IntroductionChapter 2 : Elements of CChapter 3 : Input-Output in CChapter 4 : Operators and ExpressionsChapter 5 : Control StatementsChapter 6 : FunctionsChapter 7 : RecursionChapter 8 : ArrasChapter 9 : PointersChapter 10 : StringsChapter 11 : Structure and UnionChapter 12 : FilesChapter 13 : The C PreprocessorChapter 14 : Operations on BitsChapter 15 : Miscellaneous Features Chapter 16 : Building Project and Creation of LibraryChapter 17 : Code Optimization in CChapter 18 : C and Assembly InteractionChapter 19 : Library FunctionsSolutions

Volume 3 addresses depth-perception mechanisms other than stereopsis. It starts by reviewing monocular cues to depth, including accommodation, vergence, perspective, interposition, shading, and motion parallax. Constancies, such as the ability to perceive the sizes and shapes of objects as they move are reviewed. The ways in which different depth cues interact are discussed. One chapter reviews information used to perceive motion in depth. Pathologies of depth perception, including stereoanomalies and albanism are reviewed. Visual depth-perception mechanisms through the animal kingdom are reviewed together with a discussion of the evolution of stereoscopic vision. The next chapter describes how visual depth perception guides movements of the hand and body. The next three chapters review non-visual mechanisms of depth perception, including auditory localization, echolocation in bats and marine mammals, the lateral-line system of fish, electrolocation, and heat-sensitive sense organs. The volume ends with a discussion of mechanisms used by animals to navigate.
