In order to ensure the continuous prosperity of C language, a C standard committee composed of experts in various fields came into being in 1982. The Committee brings together elites from hardware manufacturers, compilers and other software tool manufacturers, software designers, consultants, scholars, C language writers and application programmers.

Original intention of design

The original intention of C language design is to provide a simple and efficient method to compile and process low-level memory and generate a small amount of machine code. And it can run smoothly on various platforms without any external support.
