An integrated development environment (IDE) is a software application that helps programmers develop software code efficiently.
It increases developer productivity by combining capabilities such as software editing, building, testing, and packaging in an easy-to-use application.
There are many popular IDEs for C progrmming
Borland Turbo C++
Dev C++
Code::Blocks
Visual Studio Code
Borland Turbo C++
Turbo C is one of the basic and popular compilers for the C programming language.
It is an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and C and C++ compiler.
This was first introduced in 1987; it was popular for its small size, compilation speed.
The compilers were merged, and the name Turbo C was discontinued.
Borland initially released Turbo C++ in 1990.
Turbo C++ offers a complete development environment in a single application that includes a code editor, compiler, debugger, and linker.
The source file is created using the editor, which is also used to compile, link, and execute it.
Compiler : TCC (Turbo C compiler)
Dev C++
Dev-C++ is a free full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) distributed under the GNU General Public License for programming in C and C++.
It was originally developed by Colin Laplace and was first released in 1998.
It is written in Delphi.
It is bundled with, and uses, the MinGW or TDM-GCC 64bit port of the GCC as its compiler.
Dev-C++ can also be used in combination with Cygwin or any other GCC-based compiler.
Compiler : GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)
Code Block
Code::Blocks is a free C/C++ and Fortran IDE built to meet the most demanding needs of its users.
It is designed to be very extensible and fully configurable.
Built around a plugin framework, Code::Blocks can be extended with plugins.
Any kind of functionality can be added by installing/coding a plugin.
Compiler : GCC (GNU Compiler Collection)
Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux.
It comes a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages and runtimes (such as C, C++, C#, Java, Python).
