Hi.
Was just wondering if anyone could recommend me a developing environment for c. Im currently using miracleC, but Im after something more along the lines of IntelliJ IDEA for java. Free would be best, but so long as it has a free trial period, Im willing to try any.
Thanks in advance for any replies, and hi to everyone on the forum...
DId you read that
That list doesn't mention code::blocks - a nice IDE in early development, but
still is quite stable. Takes a little setting up to get it the way you want it, but
it's not too difficult. I'd recommend Dev-C++ as well for beginners, I used it for
a good while, and also if you have a broadband connection then MS VS C++
2005 is also an option. Dev is probably most suitable though. All of these
are free downloads - see my sig for links.
No No's:
fflush (stdin); gets (); void main ();
Goodies:
Example of fgets (); The FAQ, C/C++ Reference
My Gear:
OS - Windows XP
IDE - MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
ASCII stupid question, get a stupid ANSI
So can I use a c++ IDE for c programs. I realise they are a similar language, but I assumed the OOP aspects of c++ meant it would have dedicated IDE's..
Cheers for the help though guys...
>So can I use a c++ IDE for c programs.
Yes. Almost all C++ compilers will support a switch for C-only compilation, so you've basically got both a C and C++ compiler rolled into one. But please don't confuse that as C++ being a superset of C. That's a common mistake that causes subtle problems.
My best code is written with the delete key.
An IDE is just an IDE... you can write a C program in a Java IDE if you want. C++ has all the syntax of C and then some. So long as you stick to C syntax all of the coloration and boldening/italicizing in a C++ IDE will be exactly the same. However, if your C++ IDE is distributed with a compiler, make sure you compile as a C program. C and C++, while very similar in syntax has several fundamental differences in rules. Some things will work as a c++ program but not as a c program.Originally Posted by HIM
