I dabbled in C# for a short amount of time but am very new to C and programming in general. I just created a program for my grandpa that requires input of 20 or so variables and outputs an answer through a formula. Can i create a window and messageboxs or entries to make it look better? I couldn't find anything through intense google searching
Well, what operating system? GUI are OS dependent and not part of standard C. Through my intensive googling searching I found this for windows.Originally Posted by sellers04

Remember I know nothing of programming. So to type in "C GUI" and all other forms of that.. its hard to get to Windows API. Thank you though
If you are just starting out in programming jumping into trying to develop windows applications is not what you want to do. Stick with just trying to learn the language(the tutorials and FAQs here are a good place to start) and then you can move onto windows/gui development. Otherwise you will just find your endeavor to be extremely frustrating.
If you are looking at just doing this one project for your grandpa you can either look at using a higher level language such as Visual Basic, or (and what I would recommend) is to just do this in something like MS Excel for him.

If you have a relatively good grasp of C at console level, you can probably work through this with no problems...
