How to install C in Windows for free?

There are three components  needed to start programming using C language. They are Editor, Compiler and Interpreter

1. Editor – Download and install the latest copy of Notepad++
2. Compiler - Download and install latest version of MinGW
3. Interpreter – Use command prompt or power shell

Steps to start programming:

• First type your C code in notepad++ and save it as someName.c 
   

• With MinGW already installed and GCC ready to compile your program, it is time for your code to be converted into object code and then execution
• Open cmd or powershell and go the directory where the c file is stored.
• With the environment variable already set, use the command gcc someName.c -o someName
• Now just open the created exe file directly or using cmd. Voila!!! you got your first successful program running
