what to use for C

[Livzz]

i'm doing a course on C programming, using Cygwin to give me a unix interface where i can compile and run the programs...

but, for the moment i'm using wordpad to edit the code! I was given Visual Basic, but i have no idea how to use it (is it even a programming thingo?)

does anyone have any suggestions and/or reccommendations on what a good program is for editing code in the C Language? (ISO-C99)

to edit in C language the best free program is dev-c++
search it with google to download...
visual basic is another language!!!

Ok, if you wereg iven just Visual Basic then you have the wrong program, strangely enough thats for compiling/editing programs and prjects in Visual Basic. If you got miuxed up and were actually given Visual Studio, then there will be a program in this Suite called Visual C++ which is a bi better but more for the advanced users if ya get what i mean

As the previous poster said Dev-C++ is a very good program, its what i've used since day 1 of prgramming in C. and best of all its totally free

haha i had no idea that visual basic was another language!!

so visual STUDIO can program C, but you reckon dev-C++ is best?

cheers, i'll give it a go

visual studio is the whole suite of applications, in that suite you get things like visual basic, aswell as visual C++ which codes C...

But yeh, for free and open source Dev-C++ is an amzing program, its amazingly well capable of performing anyhting i can throw at it...
