Introduction to the QUINCY C/C++ Programming Environment

 

QUINCY is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that combines an editor, a linker, a C/C++ compiler, and debugging capabilities into a standard Windows application. C/C++ programs that are intended to run in a "DOS"-style window can be created with it. Moreover, it can be utilized to create Windows programs in C/C++. You can download QUINCY for free from the following website: www.alstevens.com/quincy.html. Windows 9x, Windows Millennium, Windows NT, and Windows XP can all run the software.

Place the mouse pointer over the QUINCY icon (White Cat!) and double-click the mouse left button to launch QUINCY. If the QUINCY icon is not on the desktop, you might need to go through the start -> Programs -> QUINCY menu.

After launching QUINCY, you ought to see a screen like the one below.

CREATING A NEW C PROGRAM

Click on File from the drop-down menu, then choose New C Source File.

It will open the window above. This window will close when you click OK.

A new edit window should now appear, as seen below.

You can type and run your code here.

SAVING THE SOURCE CODE C PROGRAM

You must save the program in a file so you may access it at a later time after typing it into the edit window. Keep in mind that a program that has been saved to a named file is the only one that the compiler can compile. The application will be known as average.c. Keep in mind that the name ends in.c; this is crucial.

Use the File drop-down menu item and choose "save as" to save the file.
