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
Yes.
A Casio FX-88OP is a scientific calculator. To program this, simply run the program in the true MS-DOS mode. Do not use an MS-DOS prompt.
Compile it, link it to an executable, then just enter its name and it starts running.
Access the hardware directly: possible in DOS, not possible in Windows.
A Terminate Stay Resident (TSR) program is a DOS program that stays in memory following its execution. This allows installation of drivers in DOS.
Yes.
any book you read then in the PC excute the prog.then slowly we can handle the c. langague
Once the application is compiled, there is no need for an IDE.
#include <stdlib.h> int main() { system("dir"); return 0; }
That program might not support MS-DOS..
OS-dependent. For DOS use functions kbhit and getch from conio.h

Yes, if it is a DOS program.
1. How much memory is found in the DOS transient program area
If you are going to program in turbo c (for DOS) you might be better using DJGPP. Google DJGPP for downloading and a whole host of good info.
It's just a nasty trick to prevent the DOS-shell-window from closing when the program terminates. It's strictly for homeworks/school-projects, do not do it in real programs.
It can't be run in DOS mode because it relies on Windows-specific APIs. DOS mode is running the program in either DOS, or in a DOS box under Windows. Basically, it is saying that it can't run on DOS because it is not a DOS program.
