First you need to create a text file containing the source code written in the C language.
Then, you call the compiler to check the syntax of your source code and translate it into machine code.
The exact means of calling the compiler depends on the operating system you are using and the vendor of the C compiler. For example, in some Unix systems the C compiler may be called as:
cc
CC
xlC
xlC_r
aCC
gcc
and others ...
Having saved the source file (*.C), you can compile it into an object module (*.OBJ), then link an executable program (*.EXE)
Whenever you modify a source-file, compile it once.
1. Create the source into a file with any text editor, for example: myprog.c2. Compile it: gcc -Wall -W -pedantic -g -o myprog myprog.c3. Run it: ./myprog
Sometimes, it is. Some implementations compile C++ code into C code, and then compile the C code.
You can use the gross c compiler and the file will just be compiled with no error. Or microsoft C++ Would work too if one's computer runs on windows.
Simply any text edittor can be used to write C program. To compile the .c file saved, Linux comes with gcc compiler. In the command line: $ gcc -o outputfile inputfile.c will compile the inputfile.c and create executable outputfile. Other than that there are number of IDEs (i.e. Integrated Development Environment) are available such as Kdevelop, Eclipse etc.
Not possible.
Just build it with F7, or execute it with F5/F5. The MS VS Compiler understands the difference between C and C++. You can name the source file as something.C, if you want.
Yes,we can compile our program without header file without any error,but we can not use any predefine functions like printf,scanf.
With GCC.
You need to have the path of the compiler in the envirorment variables. If you want to compile c++ navigate to the folder the cpp file is placed in and write g++ filename.cpp same thing with c just use gcc filename.c
Yes we can compile a c program using c++ compiler. Because c++ evolved from the c. c++ have some additional features beyond c. c++ support almost all concepts used in c.
