can you write fully functional c code on the ms visual c++ 2003 compiler?
work just gave me a new laptop and need to write c for a class.
my work has restricted all installs and downloads.

"Hence to fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence;
supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."
Art of War Sun Tzu
So long as you name your files as prog.c, it should compile them as C.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
Yes, certainly. The Microsoft C++ compiler is also able to compile as "plain C". As Salem says, if the filename is "xxxx.c", then the file will be compiled as "C" rather than "C++".
If you are using the command-line "cl" command to build your code, you can also use the /TC or /TP to "force" the compiler to C or C++ mode respectively. The same applies in the IDE - you can set the /TC or /TP flag for either all files or individual files by right-clicking in the solution explorer, then Properties->C/C++->Advanced. The most common use of this is if somone has suppied some C++ code in files called .c (or .C from a Unix environment - which isn't differentiated in Windows from the .c variation).
