I am learning C, what suggestions for a good editor and compiler?
when i started c I used TURBO C++ compiler


later i switched to Borland and Microsoft Visual C++





i suggest u start with TURBO


it has a good help section to help u with most symbols,syntax,fuctions etc.
Reply:Normally at most universities Borland C compiler is used. This has a dos like interfaces, but its quite simple to used.





I recommend that u use Visual C++ to compile your c program. Remember to use:


int main()





and to





return 0;
Reply:Borland C++
Reply:Very good freeware editor is Bloodshed Software - Dev-C++ you can get it here http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html but for professional purposes you will need either Microsoft Visual C++ or C++ Builder from Borland (very easy and fast developing)

Reply:in linux either gmac or kate editor and gcc compilor.


if u r on windows, get linux.
Reply:Well... the best is obviously Microsoft Visual C++ (I'm using Visual c++ 6.0, but there are newer versions available). The editor and compiler are simply amazing and very easy to use.


This costs a lot, but it's the best you can get nowadays.





However, if you want to go for a lighter version of this, you should try Borland C++, it's a bit older than Microsoft's compiler and editor, but it's cheaper too :).





There are a few free compilers/editors online. Visit http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/... for more details.
