how to run c program in vc++

[tyke17]

hello,

i am new to vc++,
can i write and run c program in vc++?

if yes,
please explain how to do so.

[WaltP]

Yes. Start VC. Choose the project type. Write the code.

And make sure you name your source code as say
prog.c
and not the default it gives you of
prog.cpp

[WaltP]

yeah, that too...

But it isn't necessary. prog.cpp will compile anyway.

Of course, that it most likely will compile. Nevertheless, that will create a C++ program and not a C program.
Sad that what it should be obvious, it needs to be explained in just great detail.

For strmstn, who still believes C++ is a superset of C.

I knew it wasn't a superset, but I will study that page. Thank you Salem.
