Hey everyone,

I’m planning to learn C programming and I’m looking at Programming in ANSI C by E. Balagurusamy. I noticed there’s an 8th edition and a 9th edition, and the 8th one is quite a bit cheaper.

From what I understand, the 9th edition is newer and slightly updated, while the 8th edition is older but still widely used in colleges.

So I’m confused:

• Is there any major difference between 8th and 9th edition?
• Will I miss anything important if I go with the 8th edition?
• Is the 9th edition worth the extra money, or is it mostly the same content?

Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve used either version 🙏
