HANDS-ON INSTRUCTIONS FOR Turbo C

Read through the following sections. Do the examples at the end of each section Look back at a previous sections for help. Read the screen. Any time it says press any key, press a key (like the spacebar) after reading the screen.

A. Entering your program
   The enter key is represented by <-.  Type the following example.
   /* Sample Program */                                  <-
   #include                                     <-
   #include                                     <-

         int sum;                                        <-
         printf("START\n");                              <-
         sum = 3 + 7;                                    <-
         printf("THE SUM IS %d\n",sum);                  <-
         printf("DONE\n");                               <-
         return 0;                                       <-

   If you make a mistake backspace to erase it, and retype the characters

B. Saving program
   To save a file,
      press Alt F (for file menu)
      type S (to save)

If the file has not been saved before, type the filename and press enter. If the file has been save before then it will be saved under the old name.

Save the program you have just written in part A as SAMPLE Notice there are no spaces in the filename. Note: To save under new name use the Save As option.

FILENAMES can consist of a drive letter (A: for left/top/only drive) followed by a colon then the filename (consisting of a name 8 characters or less beginning with a letter) and an extension (.CPP) Note: If you want to change the name of the file later, use option A (Save As) on the file menu. This allows you to save the file with a new name.

C. Executing the program
   Executing your program takes 2 steps compiling and running the program.
   Step 1: To compile your program,
      press Alt C (to get the compile menu)
      type C (to compile program)
   Note: A shorter way to execute a program is Alt and F9
   Step 2: To run your program,
      press Alt R (to get to the run menu)
      type R (to run the compiled program)
   Note: A shorter way to execute a program is Ctrl and F9
    If  you  need to stop execution of a program, press the Crtl and  Break
keys.

   To look at the output again
      press Alt W (for Window menu)
