I started to learn C where can I download the compiler? does C++ compiler is ok for c codes?

You may choose to learn C because you're heading in the direction of systems programming.





And besides, getting a good grounding in C can lead you syntactically down many other paths - C++, C#, java, javascript, php etc etc etc





Your C++ compilers will compile C code as C++ is a super-set of C.





A free and easy IDE I use with high school students is Bloodshed's Dev C++ (link below). That's assuming you're on windows. If you're on linux, you already have one built in - gcc.

Reply:Do a search for free c compiler
Reply:gcc, lcc, tcc(highly experimental, fast and small), Sun Studio, Microsoft's compiler for C(look up for the name), Borland's Turbo C are a few that come to the mind off handed. MinGW is for Cygwin if you use a Linux environment under Windows.
Reply:Yes, you can use a C++ compiler to compile C code. C++ is a superset of C, so as long as you are using ANSI standard C (and an ANSI standard C++ compiler), you should be good to go.
