#ifdef __STDC__ printf("You are conforming perfectly to the ANSI standards!\n"); #else printf("anti-ANSI programme!\n"); #endif _STD_ is a predefined symbol with value set to 1 or 0. if 1 then programme is follwowing strict ANSI C Standards. if 0 then not.

Hi Vibha, The ANSI C standard provides a predefined symbol named __STDC__ that is set to 1 when the compiler is enforcing strict ANSI standard conformance. If you want your programs to be 100 percent ANSI conformant, you should ensure that the __STDC__ symbol is defined.

ANSI C standard provides a predefined symbol _STDC_. To check whether your program follows ANSI C Standard you can write a #ifdef code like: #ifdef _STDC_ (if yes your code) #else (if no your code) #endif
