What is ANSI C and How Does it Compare to Other Programming Languages?

  • Thread starter sharavsambuu
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation covers the topics of the ANSI C language, handling signals, and various related concepts such as blank space, carriage return, fixed point representation, floating point representation, mantissa, and exponent form. However, none of these topics are directly related to ANSI C and it is requested that a coherent question be asked for a proper response. A new thread with aggarwal's questions has been created for further discussion.

Hi there.
Lets talking here all about ANSI C language.:rofl:

What's so funny?
 
  • #3
How to handling Signals.
and
what is -Signal?
-Shared memory?
-Message queue?
.....
 
  • #4
I'd like to know all about ANSI C.
 
  • #5
None of these topics have anything to do with ANSI C.

Please ask a coherent question, and we'll try to answer it.

can u explain these terms:-
1.blank space
2.carriage return
3.fixed point repersentation
4.floating point repersentation
5.mantissa
6.exponent form(scientific form)
 

1. What is ANSI C?

ANSI C is a standardized version of the C programming language. It was created by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) in 1989 to establish a common set of rules for C programming, making it easier to write portable and maintainable code.

2. What are the main features of ANSI C?

Some of the main features of ANSI C include its standardized syntax and libraries, support for structured programming, and the ability to write low-level code for system programming. It also includes features such as pointers, data types, and control structures that allow for efficient memory management and program organization.

3. What are the differences between ANSI C and K&R C?

K&R C, or Kernighan and Ritchie C, is the original version of the C programming language created by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie in the 1970s. ANSI C is an updated version that includes additional features and standardization. Some of the key differences include the use of function prototypes, the introduction of new data types, and stricter rules for type checking and variable declarations.

4. Can ANSI C be used for modern programming?

Yes, ANSI C can still be used for modern programming. While it may not have all the features of newer programming languages, it is still widely used for system programming, embedded systems, and other applications where low-level control and efficiency are important. Many modern operating systems and applications are still written in ANSI C.

5. Is ANSI C still relevant today?

Yes, ANSI C is still relevant today. While it may not be as popular as newer programming languages, it is still widely used and supported. Many programmers still prefer to use ANSI C for its efficiency and control over system resources. Additionally, many legacy systems and applications are written in ANSI C, making it important for programmers to have knowledge of the language.
