figure 3- 1. An annotated FOR loop.

inside For loop, in conditional expression shold be variable "i", not integer 1.The same place, in printf() function also two errors, again with variable of "i", same problem, and before closing double quotes, there in text is like : "%dln", but shold be "%d\n".

Note from the Author or Editor:
Looks like some similar looking characters were used when turning my drawings into a proper illustration. The for loop should read as follows:

for (int i=1; i<=10; i=i+1) {
printf("Loop iteration %d\n", i);
}

Within "Figure 4-2. A char array with a string"

In the scanf command, "%os" is used, but it should be "%s".

Note from the Author or Editor:
The function in the upper-left corner should read:

scanf("%s", name);

Note the lowercase "s" at the beginning and the removed o from the "%s" term.

Figure 6-3. Stack versus heap memory

In the 'stack' portion, the counting is incorrect, it goes from 0x...44 -> 0x...40 -> 0x...4c.
It should be 0x...44 -> 0x...40 -> 0x...3c.
It would be better to include a 'lower /higher' address tag within the figure.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Under the word "Stack" in Figure 6-3, the correct hex number should be 0x7fff30f1663c
