need a program to program :)

i need name of softwares to program c. i am new at it
and i wonna learn it. whick 1 is good for begginers?
i downloaded borland, but i even didnt understand how to open it.

and i decided to learn c, and then c++. is it good or shell i begin the c++ from now?

by the way my english isnt good so i thought Compiler is the software i program with. but it isnt. so for what do i need the compiler?
and iwasreading here: http://www.cprogramming.com/tools.html about text editor and debugger. do i need all this? what for?

You use an editor to write your program

Code:

edit prog.c

You use a compiler to compile your program into something you can run

Code:

cc prog.c

You then run your program and see what happens

Code:

prog.exe

When it all goes wrong, you need a debugger to help you figure out where it went wrong.

http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html
Features a text editor, compiler and debugger all in the same package.
Despite the C++ in the name, it also does C.

i didnt undestend your codes.
any way does microsoft visual c++ has compiler and editor?

> does microsoft visual c++ has compiler and editor?
Yes

ok thx. i need to know some more things.
after i build something with the editor i need to save the file and then to open with the compiler right?. how do i need to save the file? i mean which name "file.**"
and how do i do it with the microsoft visual c++? there r a run bottun already in the software or something, like in visual basic?

Consider something like this. You may not want to spend the money, but if you plan on using the IDE, you may as well learn how to use it.

Quzah.

thanks but i will learn the beggining at the net. and next year i will learn it at school any way. but i need answers for my lest questions.
any way i dont think i will understand something from this book (english)
