    I can only assume this (copy-pasted from wikipedia)

    The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors’ initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined

      K&R book is great! When you’re done with that I highly recommend you move on to “Modern C” by Jens Gustedt. It’s available for free online or in print. Brought my C knowledge up to date with all the cool stuff C23 has in it. Jens’ blog is a great resource as well.

      I can confirm, K&R is the book written by Kernighan and Ritchie. It is/was the Bible of the C language.
