1. Software Introduction
1.1 Software History
Dev C++ is an integrated development environment for C and C++ programming on Windows. It uses the mingw32/gcc compiler and adheres to C/C++ standards. The development environment includes multi-page windows, project editors, and debuggers, integrating editors, compilers, linkers, and executables in the project editor, providing syntax highlighting to reduce editing errors, along with comprehensive debugging features suitable for both beginners and advanced programmers. Many universities also use Dev C++ as a foundational teaching tool for C language and as a tool for practical experiments.

5. User Instructions
5.1 Create a C Language File
In – New – Source Code, create a new one directly.
5.2 Then select: Save As
5.3 Save as .C File
In an appropriate location, save it as a .C file (C source files), not .cpp (C++ source files).
5.4 Compiler Type
Then, set our compiler type to: 64-bit Release, which helps speed up compilation, but cannot debug. When debugging is needed, switch to Debug mode.
5.5 Compile and Run:
-
Compile – only compiles the file, does not run (to check for errors);
-
Run – runs the last compiled file, even if you modified the code, it will run the last compiled program;
-
Compile and Run – compiles this code and then runs it.
