Overview of this book

There’s a lot more to C than knowing the language syntax. The industry looks for developers with a rigorous, scientific understanding of the principles and practices. Extreme C will teach you to use C’s advanced low-level power to write effective, efficient systems. This intensive, practical guide will help you become an expert C programmer. Building on your existing C knowledge, you will master preprocessor directives, macros, conditional compilation, pointers, and much more. You will gain new insight into algorithm design, functions, and structures. You will discover how C helps you squeeze maximum performance out of critical, resource-constrained applications. C still plays a critical role in 21st-century programming, remaining the core language for precision engineering, aviations, space research, and more. This book shows how C works with Unix, how to implement OO principles in C, and fully covers multi-processing. In Extreme C, Amini encourages you to think, question, apply, and experiment for yourself. The book is essential for anybody who wants to take their C to the next level.

Relations between classes

An object model is a set of related objects. The number of relations can be many, but there are a few relationship types that can exist between two objects. Generally, there are two categories of relationships found between objects (or their corresponding classes): to-have relationships and to-be relationships.

We'll explore to-have relationships in depth in this chapter, and we'll cover to-be relationships in the next chapter. In addition, we will also see how the relationships between various objects can lead to relationships between their corresponding classes. Before dealing with that, we need to be able to distinguish between a class and an object.
