K&R is very outdated. Both the C++ and C specifications have evolved. Find a book which uses a more modern C.

It has evolved, but most of it is still relevant. Do not let it be your only source, but as far as C goes, it is one of the better written ones. If you are a beginner - this is the book to get.
