In computer science A-normal form (abbreviated ANF) is an intermediate representation of programs in functional compilers introduced by Sabry and Felleisen in 1992 as a simpler alternative to continuation-passing style (CPS). Some of the advantages of using CPS as an intermediate representation are that optimizations are easier to perform on programs in CPS than in the source language and that it is also easier for compilers to generate machine code for programs in CPS.
