Good 'C' language book

What's a good C language book.

Looking to understand the code of x264, which I believe is written in C.

Also just starting out with programming. Just took a basic course in college. Have done basic introduction courses in Java and C++.

I also suggest discrete math and linear algebra. It's pretty important to understand the Fourier, Hough, and Haar discrete transforms when dealing with any sort of image compression or processing in general. Wavelets, in general, are very powerful math tools that are used extensively in this field.
 
C Programming: A Modern Approach by King is what I used and it worked well for me. That will get you started with the language itself, but image and video compression is pretty maths-heavy, so your skillset will need to go beyond just programming in C.
 
Thank You. I was planning on Math as a minor since I have been good at it till now, done with calculus II with A. Good to know that it has a great use into the field I like.
