C17, formally ISO/IEC 9899:2018,[1] is an open standard for the C programming language, prepared in 2017 and published in June 2018. It replaced C11 (standard ISO/IEC 9899:2011),[2] and will be superseded by C23 (ISO/IEC 9899:2023) when it is published in 2024.[3] Since it was under development in 2017, and officially published in 2018, C17 is sometimes referred to as C18.[4]
