C programming language basic tutorial-2

#C-Environment Setup

Before practicing and running a program,first of all we have to need set up environment for C programming language.

##What is Environment for C programming language?

As I told in previous tutorial that a computer can understand only 0 and 1.That means like human language machine have there own language to communicate with it's hardware.That is known as "Machine language".Machine language nothing but representation of computer instruction into 0 and 1 .Explicitly we can say that Machine language is the only language which a computer can understand.As modern programming language is high level language and machine can not understand it ,so it is necessary to compile the program written in programming language to machine language,so that machine can understand it.So we need a text editor in where we can write our code and we also need a C compiler which compile program written in C programming language to machine language.There are many IDE(Integrated Development Environment) which provides text editor and compiler along with it. like Eclipse,Code-blocks,CodeLite,GNAT programming language and so on.If you guys interested then you can see it by googling.But in our blocks we will use Code-blocks IDE.

##How can I download and use Code::Blocks IDE?
