Abstract The publication announces the adoption of American National Standard for C, ANSI X3.159-1989, as a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS). The American National Standard for C specifies the form and establishes the interpretation of programs written in the C programming language. The purpose of the standard is to promote portability of C programs for use on a variety of data processing systems. The standard is for use by implementors as the reference authority in developing compilers, interpreters, or other forms of high level language processors; and by other computer professionals who need to know the precise syntactic and semantic rules adopted by ANSI.
