okay thank you for anwsering my question concerning the compiler you are right i don't know the purpose other than if you create a program it compiles it and turns it into a working class file.
why when you build a program is it not working does a complier help you test it as you go along or is it a hassle to compile. do you do it in stages
that what i have not been able to get that far.
i have programs written a java.class, a conversion.cpp, a hello world, a few programs in c++ and a few more but i can't get their whatever going so they are all on notepad from there what do you do.
the reason i ask these question is i have a copy of the windows program i am just playing around with just for the sake of exploring. i take everything apart, cars (mysite), computers, whatever stands still long enough. and no i have never taken a male apart there are a few forget that but, i want to open more of them up. for the past 6 mo. i have been dabbling in programming. i know why more than i can do because the prompt and commands had me stuck i could not simply get a command to work. studpid me was using brackets slashes other signs as i got mad. and i thought being in med field external was external(on disk) i am making disk after disk,. i can somewhat now. you know if you read my other post you can see i am a mess.
now for the sake of the question about windows
i have downloaded a file analyzer
i have downloaded a jdk
i have downloaded html i can write and create with the editor
i have downloaded gnu i can not get the variables and i believe the rhide does not work in NT i have to do more reading there are ten things
i have downloaded python i have not even tried
i have downloaded a hex editor i have not tried
i have downloaded linux i was told LINUX IS THE LANGUAGE I NEED TO LEARN. i am finding out they all have their personalities but the same rules applies.
i do too much stumbling i love that sight every programming site i learn a lot.
anyway i wanted to learn how to use my prompt commands and be able to manipulate myself underground and set syntax commands and such
and i wanted to be able to open files with the windows program. i have it on d drive i hope it does not sustain d drive like c
the reason i asked about the autoexec file (i knew it was wrong) i was too lazy and frazzeled that why i put in theory. because that is my problem the command prompt. i could go underground to a file find it or not find it and set a new command in another file with the same name i even created a couple because these programming books get me mixed up using "msdos" for xp. one even told me to put the gnu path variiable in autoexe.exe. well for two days i searched found out xp boot disk does not have the commands do i put a win 98 dos boot disk in the system32 file. then i find out why because xp is not a dos systems now everything begins to fall in place.
for instance trying to get the gnu i had to set the path (whole new story i posted) i know more now but still can't get program to run in rhide window i am beginning to believe it doesn't. that i have to use windows prompt to program. yea or nay. anyway i made another file. i cannot or could not go to the windows prompt and get a command to work until someone told me how to get the c prompt by using cd\ and cls. now i can get dir command
and all the exe commands. even notepad from the prompt so i might be a programmer. i would like to know what program i have to have to open those windows files that when you open them with note pad it looks srammbled spaced writing.
thank you for your time priceless
