     C Installation
To start learning C programming, you only have to install the C compiler in your system, and nowadays C and C++ both compilers come as a single integrated package, which serves the purpose of C and C++ both program development.

What is Compiler in C?

A compiler is a computer program that transforms human readable (programming language) source code into another computer language (binary) code.
In simple terms Compiler takes the code that you write and turned in to the binary code that computer can understand.
C compiler is a software application that transforms human readable C program code to machine readable code. The process of transforming the code from High Level Language to Machine Level Language is called “Compilation”. Human readable code is the C program that consists of digits letters, special symbols etc which is understand by human beings. On the other hand, machine language is dependent on processor and processor understands zeroes and ones (binary) only. All C program execution is based on processor which is available in the CPU; that is why entire C source code needs to be converted to binary system by the compiler.
This tutorial is written for Windows, Unix / Linux and MAC users. All code has been tested and it works correctly on all three operating systems.

List of C Compilers for Windows OS

Since there are various compilers available in to the online market, here are the lists of some of the frequently used ones:
·         CCS C Compiler
·         Turbo C
·         Minimalist GNU for Windows (MinGW)
·         Portable C Compiler
·         Clang C++
·         Digital Mars C++ Compiler
·         Intel C++
·         IBM C++
·         Visual C++ : Express Edition
·         Oracle C++
All of these above compilers for C are free to download, but there are some other paid C compilers also available or programmers can get it for trial version:
·         Embarcadero C++
·         Edison Design Group C++
·         Green Hills C++
·         HP C++ for Unix
·         Intel C++ for Windows, Linux, and some embedded systems.
·         Microsoft C++
·         Paradigm C++

C Compiler Installation on Windows

To use C compiler in Windows, you can install any one software mentioned below.
·         You can download a 90-day trial version of Visual Studio
·         You can download Dev-C++ IDE to develop C and C++ application.
·         You can install MinGW

C Compiler Installation on UNIX/Linux

If you are using UNIX / Linux, then most probably C compiler called GCC will already in your system. To check if you have it installed, you can type cc or gcc at command prompt.
$ gcc -v
If for some reason it is not Installed on your system, you can download it from gcc.gnu.org/install.

C Compiler Installation on MAC

Xcode development environment came with GNU C/C++ compiler, You can install it from Apple’s website.
You can download Xcode from developer.apple.com/technologies/tools.

Java Method Overriding

Java Method Overriding Declaring a method in the subclass which already exists there in the parent class is known as method overriding. When a class is inheriting a method from a superclass of its own, then there is an option of overriding the method provided it is not declared as final. The advantage of using overriding is the ability to classify a behavior that’s specific to the child class and the child class can implement a parent class method based on its necessity. There are certain rules that a programmer should follow in order to implement overriding. These are: In Java, a method can only be written in the child class and not in same class. Argument list should be exactly the same as that of the overridden method of that class. Instance methods can also be overridden if they are inherited by the child class. A constructor cannot be overridden. Final – declared methods cannot be overridden. Any method that is static cannot be used to override. The return type must have to be the...
