In programming  writing of logic's, printing of pictures, building of games with the help of code Editors, IDE, Compilers etc.

Code Editors is the space where we can write, erase, build instructions(i.e codes), 

IDE is the integrated development environment, its an interactive environment where the purpose of the lines of instructions are differentiated and balanced with the use of colors on instructions.

Compilers : Compilation process responsible for generation of Binaries and creation of 

                    executable(.exe files)

 INSTALLATIONS

Computers are machines and to interact with machines and, make the use of machines to build ideas.

We need to install software's(programs) in them  to get our useful and creative works done with the help computers programs.

Installation is also about process of making hardware and software ready to use, Without a Operating system(OS) a computer is of no use Except a manual type writer.

Installation of software is also know installation  of programs such as  Ms office, Paint, computer Games,etc.

BUT THE POINT IS  

• Are you installing the software to open and use the programs.
• Are you installing the software to BUILD your own programs, those works as you customize them, are you installing software to learn programming and start Build Like

     Our objective is to learn programming and Build programs.

   And for that we need install    

                                                code editor ,IDE, Compiler

 

Code editor to Compiler forming  Binaries

Lets Learn How to install code editors, compiler and form Binaries.

Different programming language have different syntax() to write Programs and rest process are same, so for different Programming Language, we need to learn different syntax

PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES (C,C++,Python,Java,JavaScript, etc)

 To keep things simple at first we will Learn about a compiler.

CODE EDITOR: Notepad++.

COMPILER : Install GCC compiler for Windows.

To install gcc compiler for windows : we need download the program MinGw (i.e a compiler)

To Download MinGw : https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/   click on  mingw-get-setup.exe 

AFTER DOWNLOADING OPEN THE FILE 

CLICK ON INSTALL

AFTER INSTALLATION CLICK ON CONTINUE AND THEN

MinGw Installation manager arrives 

Right click and select Mark for installation

Move mouse pointer to the top left corner at the installation click and click on Apply changes

then it will ask for the start  of the process click on Apply.

wait for some time for the installation to complete.

After the installation has  complete, Click on the CLOSE 

Now check in the this PC is MingW successfully installed or not.

 click on the folder(arrow) and then on the bin folder, click on the yellow highlighted panel(on your computer ) and copy the path(C:\MinGW\bin)

open This PC right click and then click on PROPERTIES

an window will open, CLICK on the red highlighted color  option,

Follow the picture and configure

1.click on environment variable 

2. A window opens click on the path 

3.third window opens click on the new row and paste the copied path(C:\MinGW\bin)

After adding the path, click OK for each window below.

Now go to start button, click on the start TYPE : cmd and open

Type:  g++ --version

and press Enter, it will display something like output

it means your complier has been installed
