>>anything wrong in the program?
1. its
2. Add
3. Add '\n' to the end of Hello, making it "Hello\n"
4. You might need to add
If the above doesn't fix the problem then I don't know what's wrong.
1. its
int main(). 2. Add
return 0; as the last line in main()3. Add '\n' to the end of Hello, making it "Hello\n"
4. You might need to add
fflush(stdout) after that print statement.If the above doesn't fix the problem then I don't know what's wrong.
As far as I know:
Alt + f9 -> just complile
use:
Ctrl + f9 -> compile + run
Alt + f9 -> just complile
use:
Ctrl + f9 -> compile + run

When you think you have done a lot, then be ready for YOUR downfall.

If you write your program like this:
It should work..
C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
It should work..

I am too new to c programming.I think as the program doesnt return any value you should either put void main,or give return 0 at the end of program.
Just take it as a suggestion not sure if it is tha solution.

2. main should return int and nothing else
3. C is case sensitive, so Conio.h is wrong.
4. If I'm not wrong, ALT+F5 is used to hold the screen if you're not using getch().
5. Use code-tags to post your code.

@OP
I apologise if this remark seems a little out of place with respect to your query, but I would suggest that you look at using an up-to-date setup. Turbo C is pretty dated.
Personally, for the Windows platform, I would recommend the MinGW toolchain in conjunction with your favourite editor or IDE. Codeblocks is a good IDE option and you can download it with MinGW as part of the package.
I use MinGW in conjunction with the CDT tooling in Eclipse. It works well - except that there are still some integration issues with the gdb debugger - but it's not a "show-stopper".
