You have asked about Notepad and Word twice now, but you not at all clear about what you want. Notepad and Word are completely different types of software. Notepad is just a basic text editor that doesn't support any type of text formatting. Word is a full-featured (*cough* bloated) text editor that supports the creation of advanced documents.

Now if you are asking about how the programs work programmatically, no one here will be able to answer that. In order to know how they work internally, you'd have to be familiar with the source. No one that works for Microsoft and has worked with the source for these programs will divulge the programs' internal operations on a public board.

Do you want to know how to write your own text editor similar to Notepad or Word?

You really must be more verbose about what you want. You need to ask us specific questions like "How do I make a text editor?" or "Are there any easy to use code modules that I can use to ease the creation of a text editor?"

thank you for your kind suggestions dear chrissbliss.

now, i will come in your way .my doubt is if i want to develop a text editor which is some what similar to notepad .how can i ?

and if i want a text editor which is similar to word document.how can i ?

and for every implementation we need some basic data structures.

if we use arrays,linked lists,dobly linked lists, which can serve in resulting a good editor .

please send your reply .i always welcome your suggestions.

note that this is not my own question.it was asked in interview .

waiting for reply..........

u need to include the header file stdlib and i guess time.h...for srand and time() function to work

whereas the logic part is concerned.....

generate a random number between 0 to 9
by using this....

srand(time(0));
ran=rand()%10;

and if you want that other number should not be same as any of the previous number generated then check every new random number with the previously generated number
