    Anyone here know C?

    For Java there are programs like BlueJ and Eclipse to compile and run your program, and I think for C++ there is Code Warrior. Is there such a program for C that is free and runs on the Windows?

    Thanks.

    Any C++ IDE will be able to compile and run C code. So if you have code warrior use that.

    There is Dev-C++ -- which is supposed to be free, but I have never used it personally. Back in my C/C++ days, I used Borland Developer and Visual Studio.

    Bah IDE's are for pansies. All you need is a good editor, GCC, GNU Make, and the command line.

    The Eclipse Project has a nice plugin to use for C++ editing & compiling at: http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

    You'll need to download DJGPP or GCC to use for a compiler. Both are free to download on Windows & Linux.

    Thanks!

    If you plan to do web development you may want to consider C#.

    Cheers

    Thanks guys!

    That may be true, but I don't have much time on my hands. I have other classes I need to worry about so I figure that an IDE will probably save me some time. I know this probably isn't the best idea in the long run, but I'd rather just start programming without worrying about other stuff. Especially since I will only need it for one small program.

    Kit, you can always use the DOS style Turbo-C [works on Windows].

    I still prefer Microsoft Visual C++.

    I'll look into that. I wasn't aware I could use Eclipose for C and now that I know, I may end up just using that because I'm more familar/comfortable with that.

    The application itself is very simple - but works.

    You can download it here [you have to configure the directories before you can work it]

    I'll agree that the enforced approach that an IDE entails can sometimes be infuriating, but they have their benefits.

    If you're making use of any APIs, an IDE with intellisense is a very handy tool and becomes increasingly useful the larger the project, especially so with OO languages. In this respect, a simple editor doesn't provide you with any assistance and I would be skeptical of anyone that waves that assistance aside. Spend enough time repeating basic tasks -- such as opening the source file which contains the code block you wish to edit and then navigating to it -- and the worth of a _good_ IDE can be appreciated.
