How do I convert my C programs to executables? When I save them as exe files and I run the file it shows an error.. I have attached the error as a jpg

You cannot just save your C programs to .exe.. You need to run them through a C compiler to turn them into an executable file.

Your profile says you are running Windows XP... A good compiler to use would be Dev-C++ 4.9.9.2. This also supports C++ when you move onto that. This is nice little tutorial on how to use Dev-C++.

Hope this helps -

I have Boreland C++ compiler and I saved it from its "save as" option... And selected the executable option from the drop down list of extensions..

I'll try the DevC++

Thanks a lot for your help

You can also download Microsoft's Visual C++ from their website for free if you want. It provides a pretty good development atmosphere.
