Well, people no longer use it because most C compilers understand ANSI C
perfectly, and it has a superior syntax. However, you can find some old
UNIX programs written in K&R or partly K&R style, and perhaps some native
compilers on older OSes still understand it alone.

If you already know another computer langauge, I don't think that buying a
book is compulsary. Check for good online stuff, first.

The Bible dictates that "Thou shalt not seethe [=cook] a kid [= young goat]
in his mother's milk." To avoid possibility of breaking that regulation,
the Jewish tradition ruled that it also applies to female goats, to mature
goats, and to the meat and milk of two completely unrelated goats. It is
also forbidden to eat the meat with fresh milk, and it applies to beef and
mutten as well (including mixing the milk and meat of two different
beasts). Finally, chicken, which are incapable of milk production, may not
be eaten along with any mammal's milk either. 

We are fortunate that most mathematicians were not Jewish. Otherwise, it
would have been forbidden to divide by all numbers between -1 and 1.
