ISO/IEC 9899 (C Standard)

ISO/IEC 9899, commonly known as the C Standard, is an international set of rules that define the programming language C. It ensures consistency and portability of C programs across different computers and compilers by specifying how code should be written and understood. The standard covers aspects like syntax, data types, how to organize code, and how functions work. Adhering to this standard helps developers create reliable software that behaves predictably across various systems, facilitating collaboration, maintenance, and broader compatibility in software development.
