     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.

C++ Data Abstraction

C++ Data Abstraction Object oriented programming offers various features to write programs with various concepts that help to minimize problems and increase flexibility in program. One of the features of object oriented programming is Data abstraction. In this chapter you will learn about how the concept data abstraction is carried out within the C++ program. What is Data abstraction? Data abstraction allows a program to ignore the details of how a data type is represented. Abstraction (derived from a Latin word  abs , meaning away from and  trahere , meaning to draw) refers to the act of representing essential features without including the background details or explanations. C++ classes use the technique of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract attributes such as width, cost, size etc and functions to operate on these attributes. They put in a nutshell all the essential properties of an object that are required to be created. The attributes are therefore called...
