How to excute c program on dos?

Answer 1

Command-line and IDE C compilers: There are two types of C compilers, each of which has advantages and disadvantages: (i) Command-line C compilers and (ii) IDE or Windows C compilers To compile and run a C program using a command-line C compiler, you have to go through the following steps: (i) Write the C program (call it ``myfile.c'') in a text editor or word processor (for example, the simple ``Hello'' program below), (ii) Save it as a file on your computer's hard disk, (iii) ``Compile it'' to a computer-executable program by entering a compile command at a command prompt, for example for the following C compiler programs: gcc -Wall -o myfile myfile.c (using the GNU C compiler, UNIX or Microsoft Windows) cl myfile.c (Microsoft Visual C++ command-line compiler) bcc32 myfile.c (Borland C/C++ compiler, Microsoft Windows) followed by the ``Enter'' key, and finally (iv) Run the program by entering myfile at a command prompt, again followed by ``Enter''. If you want to save the output of ``myfile'' as a text file ``myfile.txt'', enter instead myfile > myfile.txt
