Hi


Ok first I am a noob at programming. Whenever I make a C program and compile it it opens and then it goes and nothing happened. This appens even with manydemo programs so its not just me

If your going to be developing in C then I would suggest getting yourself something setup like ubuntu. Linux machines come with a ton of features for compiling C and C++. Visual Studio is nice however I couldn't imagine using C without some flavor of *nix.

I particularly am inlcinded to FreeBSD due to the BSD liscence. I'd suggest ubuntu for someone who hasn't used Linux before. Very simple install process and you will have g++ to compile native to the system.

If however you don't want to take that route. You can find a free C compilers here http://www.thefreecountry.com/compilers/cpp.shtml

What IDE are you currently using? My guess would be DevShed. I suggest, right before your return in main() to put the line

This will freeze the system with your output window still in tact. Or you could route your output to an output file. Plenty of Docs on that.

And why are you coding in C? Thats sooo 10 years ago

I understand why you suggest linux, I think we all know linux is god for programming in many cases, but I think he's just writing a basic C program and is having trouble with his compiler in his IDE. I don't think he needs to get all set up with a *nix environment to do what he's trying to do. In the long run however, a linux setup would be great for programming

Ya, you need to add the "system("PAUSE");" line at the end. Other wise it will close the window after the program runs.
