C ENVIRONMENT SETUP

                     C ENVIRONMENT  SETUP

 In order to start compiling and executing c programs, you need the following two software tools available on your computer, (a) Text Editor and (b) The C Compiler.


C is often called a "Middle Level" programming language. because of its capability to access the system's low level functions. Most high-level languages (e.g. Fort-ran) provides everything the programmer might want to do already built into the language. A low level language (e.g. assembler) provides nothing other than access to the machines basic instruction set

a) Text Editor :

This will be used to type your program. Examples of few a editors include Windows Notepad, OS Edit command, Brief, Epsilon, EMACS, and vim or vi.
The name and version of text editors can vary on different operating systems. For example, Notepad will be used on Windows, and vim or vi can be used on windows as well as on Linux or UNIX.
The files you create with your editor are called the source files and they contain the program source codes. The source files for C programs are typically named with the extension ".c".

It was initially developed by Dennis Ritchie between 1969 and 1973.  It was mainly developed as a system programming language to write operating system. The main features of C language include low-level access to memory, simple set of keywords, and clean style, these features make C language suitable for system programming like operating system or compiler development.   This tutorial will give u enough understanding on C programming language from where you

Compiling and Running Your First C Program

                                            Compiling and Running Your First C Program  in this topic  I ntroduces the basics of C programming in an easy-to-follow format, and includes some exercises you can try on your own to get you started how to save the source code in a file, and how to compile and run it. Open a text editor and add the above-mentioned code. Save the file as  hello.c Open a command prompt and go to the directory where you have saved the file. Type  gcc hello.c  and press enter to compile your code. If there are no errors in your code, the command prompt will take you to the next line and would generate  a.out  executable file. Now, type  a.out  to execute your program. You will see the output  "Hello World"  printed on the screen. $ gcc hello.c $ ./a.out Hello, World! e gcc compiler is in your path and that you are running it in the directory containing the source file hello.c.
