How to Install Turbo C++

 There are so many compilers for C / C++. We can use any of them to run our C Program.
 We are using Turbo C++ as it can be used for both C and C++.
 To use Turbo C++ software,
o First, download this software. You can Google for the same and get setup.
o Extract zip file in specific drive / directory. (Let’s say C:\turboc)
o Select install.exe file and double click to install software.

o Click on ‘Next’ Button. And then Click on ‘Install’ Button.

o It will start installation of turboC++ software.

o And finally click on ‘Finish’ button.

o After successfully installation of software, double click on the file tc.exe located inside bin
folder of C:\turboc.

Using TurboC++ Software

 As displayed above, after double clicking on tc.exe file it will open following screen.

 Now click on File Menu and then New Option will open following screen.

 From here you can type, compile, save and run your C / C++ Program.

Mount Specific Directory

 To save C / C++ Program in specific drive / directory, we need to mount that driver / directory.

 To mount that driver / directory, click on File - > Dos Shell Option.

 It will display following screen with C:\ prompt.

This is C
prompt.
This is Dos
Shell. This is
command
base only.
So, we need
to type
mount
command.

 Type mount command here like:

o mount x: z:\sem1\c

 Here mount is command name, x is name of our virtual name for our path. We can set any of
alphabet except our Computer’s drive letter.

 Z:\sem1\c is the particular folder path where we want to save our C program.

Tracing / Debugging
 To trace / debug means step-by-step evaluation / execution of any program.
 C compiler executes program from top – to – down approach.
 We can trace / debug each any every instruction / step of our program.
 We can also check value of variable / expression for each and every step of program execution.
 To debug complete program, we need to compile and press F7 key. It will start step-by-step
execution of program.
 In many cases, there may be situation that compiler starts execution of program as its own and
after some steps of execution we need that compiler will suspend execution till we give next
instruction.
o For this, we need to set breakpoint at specific point.
o To create breakpoint, press F8 key at any of the line of code.
o Now, start normal execution of program (i.e. compile and CTRL + F9).
o Whenever compiler reaches to our breakpoint it suspends execution till next instruction.
o To resume execution step-by-step, press F7 key, it will start execution of the program step
by step from the breakpoint.
 We can also add Watch for our program while tracing / debugging.
o In C language, watch is the functionality which shows us the runtime valuation of a variable
/ expression that we added to watch.
o To add any variable / expression to watch, press CTRL + F7 key.
