The present standard for the C programming language is C11; here C11 symbolizes ISO/IEC 9899:2011. It replaces the preceding C standard, C99 is an unofficial term. This course employs live-code technique to teach the C Standard Library and C language.

This latest version primarily standardizes characters which have previously been sustained by the familiar contemporary compilers, and includes an exhaustive memory model for the better maintenance of multiple threads of execution. The influential C language is amongst the most accepted programming languages available, particularly among small device and game programmers.
