Compiler and How to install

A Compiler is used to translate a C program into object program using which an executable program (.EXE) will be generated by linking the input (keyboard) and output(Monitor) devices. The .EXE file will be run to get the result. Different C compilers are used in DOS and UNIX environments. We know that an editor is used to type and save a program in disk. In DOS environment C compiler with the TURBO editor is commonly available. In UNIX operating system a built-in editor Vi is commonly used.

All the UNIX systems have a C compiler called cc. It is a command line compiler and is used to generate the executable file.

We will use Code Block for this Tutorial series. This is an alternate option of Turbo C.
