C (pronounced / ˈsiː / – like the letter c) [6] is a general-purpose programming language. It was created in the 1970s by Dennis Ritchie and remains very widely used and influential. By design, C's features cleanly reflect the capabilities of the targeted CPUs. It has found lasting use in operating systems code (especially in kernels [7 ...
The C Programming Language (sometimes termed K&R, after its authors' initials) is a computer programming book written by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, the latter of whom originally designed and implemented the C programming language, as well as co-designed the Unix operating system with which development of the language was closely intertwined.
C23. v. t. e. C23 is a draft open standard for the C programming language, which is expected to become ISO/IEC 9899:2024, replacing C17 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:2018). [1] It was started in 2016 informally as C2x, [2] and is expected to be published in October 2024. [3] The most recent publicly available working draft of C23 was released on April ...
C language revisions. C17, formally ISO/IEC 9899:2018, [1] is an open standard for the C programming language, prepared in 2017 and published in June 2018. It replaced C11 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:2011), [2] and will be superseded by C23 (ISO/IEC 9899:2023) when it is published in 2024. [3] Since it was under development in 2017, and officially ...
C standard library. The C standard library or libc is the standard library for the C programming language, as specified in the ISO C standard. [1] Starting from the original ANSI C standard, it was developed at the same time as the C library POSIX specification, which is a superset of it. [2][3] Since ANSI C was adopted by the International ...
ANSI C, ISO C, and Standard C are successive standards for the C programming language published by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 22 /WG 14 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). Historically, the names referred specifically to ...
C language revisions. C11 (previously C1X, formally ISO/IEC 9899:2011), [1] a past standard for the C programming language. It replaced C99 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:1999) and has been superseded by C17 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:2018). C11 mainly standardizes features already supported by common contemporary compilers, and includes a detailed memory ...
The C-family programming languages share significant features of the C programming language. Many were developmentally influenced by C due to its success and ubiquity. The family also includes predecessors that influenced C's design such as BCPL. Notable programming sources use terms like C-style, C-like, a dialect of C, having C-like syntax.
