hello every body
i am new to programming in c
fed up of getting compiling errors
can u tell me how to do line by line compiling.........
You can't. But it is likely that you will find it easier to write
good code without errors if you write as little code as possible between
compile and test runs. Don't try to write the whole program in one go,
instead start by writing something that does the smallest possible part of
the job and make that work (this might be just putting out a prompt for
some data input or reading a line from stdin) then add to it bit by bit
compiling and testing as you go until you have the complete program. The
suggestion by gremnebulin of doing line by line coding is not far from the
mark.
This may seem at first glance like far more work than just writing
the program and testing it. But what makes it less work is that mistakes
are an inevitable consequence of being human and doing it the incremental
way means that at each step there will be very few mistakes to find and fix
and the space for them to hide in will be small which makes them easy to
find and fix. Give it a try, I think you'll like it and find that it gives
you a big edge in development speed over those who write everything and
then try to make it work.
Many will advocate automating the series of tests applied and
adding to them as the program develops. There is much to be said for this
approach but it is more time consuming on simple tasks of limited lifespan.
The payback comes with more complex and long lived programs, and the payback
can be very worthwhile.
