Wanted to ask which IDE is easiest to use for programming in C
One reason I ask is that Ive used Quincy 2005 but it seems as if it might be antiquated. Im reading a book Beginning C and it says: The compiler you use should provide good support for the
current International Standard for the C language, ISO/IEC 9899:2011, commonly referred to as C11.
When editing in Quincy 2005 I get error messages, I recheck my code and even cut and paste from the book and still get error messages. One being when adding comments, this creates and error unless I only use /* comment */. From the book an option is:
/* Program 1.3 Another Simple C Program - Displaying a Quotation */
#include <stdio.h> // This is a preprocessor directive
int main(void) // This identifies the function main()
{ // This marks the beginning of main()
printf("Beware the Ides of March!"); // This line outputs a quotation
return 0; // This returns control to the operating system
} // This marks the end of main()
This does not compile using Quincy, but if I replace all comments with /*comments*/ instead of // it works.
Any help would be much appreciated. Ive installed codelite 7 but without a tutorial its no go for me. Im a "noob" obviously, any help much appreciated.
thank you
