In great shape like new free of marks The Elements of Programming Style by Brian Kernighan and P. J. Plauger is a classic, influential book that teaches programmers to write clear, readable, and maintainable code, not just code that works. Published in 1974, it uses timeless principles, often illustrated with examples from older languages like Fortran, to advocate for simplicity, consistency, and avoiding “cleverness” in favor of human readability, influencing generations of developers. The second edition updated the text to include structured programming concepts, but the core message remains relevant: good style is crucial for effective software development
