Hello everyone. I'm a beginner in C programming, and I was just a little curious:

Is it possible to install multiple compilers (on the same platform)? For instance, is it possible to install, say, Compiler A and Compiler B on the same platform (say, a computer running Win32)?

I was wondering because I've heard various things from novices saying "you can use both compilers on the same computer," while others say, "you can only use one compiler on one computer."

If you can install (and "run") multiple compilers on the same platform, how is this done? Is it as simple as installing the software? Any suggestions and/or answers would be appreciated. Thanks.
