What do you need to program in C


To type your C program you need another program called editor.Once the program is typed,it is needed to convert this code into binary language to make it understandable to machine.To carry out this conversion you need another program called compiler.Today these two programs come in one package called IDE(Integrated Devlopment Environment).You need not to download these two program separately ,you just needs to download IDE which will consist both compiler and editor.

Following are some popular IDE.It doesnt matter which IDE you use C program will remains same in all.


For windows
Turbo C or Turbo C++
Visual C++
Borland C++

For linux

Gcc compiler(Its not IDE.Its just a compiler you have to use editor like vi editor to type program)

I would recommend you to use turbo C or turbo C++.It is best to learn C for beginner

Turbo C or Turbo C++ do not run on windows 7 64bit.You can either use dev c++ or you can run turbo C using dosbox.
