Introduction The C program you write is called source code . A compiler translates C source code into machine language. Computers are made up of nothing more than thousands of electrical switches that are either on or off. Therefore, computers must ultimately be given instructions in binary. The prefix bi- means “two,” and the two states of electricity are called binary states. It’s much easier to use a C compiler to convert your C programs into 1s and 0s that represent internal on and off switch settings than for you to do it yourself. Basic Steps To Follow When Writing A Program 1. Decide exactly what the program should do. 2. Use an editor to write and save your programming language instructions. An editor lets you create and edit text. 3.All the popular C compilers include an integrated editor along with the programming language compiler. 4.All C program filenames end in the .c file extension. 5. Compile the program. 6. Check for prog...
