Beginning with C programming.

To start with C programming,firstly you need a 'Compiler'.
A Compiler is a program which converts the written program into the machine language.
To type a program we need a Text Editor(e.g. Notepad).
But almost every compiler comes along with an in-built text editor.AT beginner level you could use a Turbo C or Turbo C++ compiler.
If you have Windows 7 64bit OS , take a look at this post , about Installing turbo C on Win 7 64 bit .

You can use the search bar given on this page to find a suitable compiler for you.

The compiler(TC.EXE) is usually situated in C:\TC\BIN directory of your computer.
After starting the compiler select New from the File menu.
Then type the desired program.
The next step is to save your written program,press F2 key to save your program.
Give a proper name to the program.
Now,compile and execute the program by pressing Ctrl+F9.
To view the output of your program press Alt+F5.
