c refers to traditional c developed by dennis ritchie at bell laboratories around 1972 or so, he did it for unix ofcource.then later problems occured wen c was transplanted to other oses and also ther occured a need to stansardize c ,so the standardizing giant did it and came up with ansi c..which most of us use now.

one easy way to differentiate c and ansi c is using

#if __STDC__ in your program .__STDC__ is defined in ANSI c by default were its not the case with traditional c .There do exist many other differences.but i think this is inly needed for the time being.

thankks
