C - Running, Compilation and Execution

 Running a C Program

➢   Type a program

➢   Save it

➢   Compile the program – This will generate an exe file (executable)

➢   Run the program (Actually the exe created out of compilation will run and not the .c file)

➢  In different compiler we have different option for compiling and running. We give only the concepts.

Compilation and Execution :

                As like most high-level languages, C also uses compiler to convert its  source code (files with the extension .c) to object code (files with the  extension .obj) and the object code will be link edited by the linker to form the  machine language also known as executable code (files with the extension .exe ).
