    c
C or "Com" is what is called a compiled language. This means that once you write your C program, you must run it through a C compiler to turn your program into an executable that the computer can run (execute). The C program is the human-readable form, while the executable that comes out of the compiler is the machine-readable and executable form. What this means is that to write and run a C program, you must have access to a C compiler.

If you are using a UNIX machine the C compiler is available for free. It is called either "cc" or "gcc" and is available on the command line.
If you do not have hundreds of dollars to spend on a commercial compiler, then you can use one of the free compilers available on the Web.
