The program to edit is any text editor.
To compile you need a compiler.

Most C - compilers like *.c files.

Most linkers like *.o files.

It is called so

On windows it should be. On *nix systems they have no extension by default.

Find someone in real life that knows these things, and ask to be shown.
You need to understand very elementary concepts before being able to receive help from us, without wasting both ours and your time.

>and a high-level language program is saved on disc as what file?
Source code (.c, .cpp, etc )

>before linking, a machine language program is save as what file?
object file (.o, .a, .obj, etc )

>and after linking, the machine language is saved as what file again?
Executable file (.exe)

You should use English for your postings

And give more descriptive name to your posts
