anyway, you need a compiler to compile a c source. You can use a command-line compiler which makes your job harder, but there are graphical compilers which make your job easier. Graphical compilers are nothing special, they just contain an editor which opens the source files directly and allow you to edit easily, and use a command-line compiler. Visual C++, Dev-C++ (hxxp://www.bloodshed.com) are examples for graphical compilers. These programs are able to compile source codes with just one click, and if nothing goes wrong, your file will be compiled and ready to use. If anything goes wrong, the errors and the warnings will be displayed. Warnings are partially ignorable(no newline at the end of file), but errors not. If the compiler encounters any error, it doesn't create an EXE file, and gives the details about the error which you can see at the bottom of the screen in Dev-C++ for example.
