+# The C Programming Language (2nd edition) exercises
+
+'The C Programming Language' (Kernighan, Ritchie 1988) book contains many
+exercises to practically teach the language to the reader. I read the book in
+the little spare time I had in secondary school, a few years back. Though it
+was a brilliant read, I had no computer with me to do the exercises. I am now
+re-reading it, and doing the exercises.
