|
|||
|
|
defined in the first edition of <a href="../K/K-ampersand-R.html"><i class="glossterm">K&R</i></a>, with some small additions. It
|
|||
|
|
is also known as ‘K&R C’. The name came into use while C
|
|||
|
|
was being standardized by the ANSI X3J11 committee. Also ‘C
|
|||
|
|
Classic’.</p><p>An analogous construction is sometimes applied elsewhere: thus,
|
|||
|
|
‘X Classic’, where X = Star Trek (referring to the original TV
|
|||
|
|
series) or X = PC (referring to IBM's ISA-bus machines as opposed to the
|
|||
|
|
PS/2 series). This construction is especially used of product series in
|
|||
|
|
which the newer versions are considered serious losers relative to the
|
|||
|
|
older ones.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="Cinderella-Book.html">Prev</a><EFBFBD></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../C.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"><EFBFBD><a accesskey="n" href="clean.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">Cinderella Book<6F></td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"><EFBFBD>clean</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
