ANSIC

Ansic is a term that may refer to more than one concept. Most commonly, it is a shorthand form used to denote ANSI C, the version of the C programming language standardized by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and later by ISO/IEC as ISO 9899. The ANSI C standard, initially published in 1989 as C89/C90, introduced function prototypes, a standardized library, and improved portability across compilers and platforms. In practice, modern compilers often support ANSI C mode to ensure code adheres to the standard rather than to the older K&R C syntax. The term ANSIC appears in some documentation and historical texts as an alternative label for ANSI C, though it is less common in contemporary usage.

Beyond computing, Ansic can be encountered as a proper name, including surnames and organizational names, but there is no single widely recognized entity that bears the name globally. If encountered in a different context, it is best to consult surrounding material for clarification.
