C11

C11 is a version of the C programming language standard, formalized in 2011, that defines how C programs should behave and be written. It introduces new features to improve safety, portability, and performance, such as better support for multithreading, improved type safety, and enhanced library functions. C11 helps developers write more reliable and efficient software by standardizing how code interacts with hardware and memory, making programs more predictable across different systems. Overall, it’s an updated blueprint ensuring C code remains modern, consistent, and effective.
