Introduction To C Compilers
- To type a C program you need a tool called EDITOR and after finishing the program it needs a another programming tool called COMPILER and other basic components like Preprocessor, Assembler and Linker.
- Once the program has been typed it needs to be converted to machine(binary) language (0s and 1s) before the machine can execute it. To carry out this conversion we need another program called Compiler.
- Compiler vendors provide an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) which consists of an Editor as well as the Compiler.
- There are a number of IDE’s (Integrated Development Environment) are available for free to download whosupports various operating systems. e.g. Turbo C, Turbo C++ and Microsoft C are some of the popular compilers that work under MS-DOS(Text User Interface). Visual C++ and Borland C++ are the compilers that works under Windows while gcc compiler (GNU C Compiler) works under Linux Environment.
