Gimp users or Computer Gurus. What do i do with C file .c?

Question

Heard of C++ but I didn't think I would ever see anything resembling it. Then again I don't even know what it looks like but anyways I have a regular file .c . What am i supposed to do with a .c file. Is it a plugin or a script or what exactly is it and how do i install it?. I'm used to dealing with .py .scm .gbr .abr and more but .c is a new one. HELP please .

Answer 1

It's the actual c code. So in C there are header files ".h" that are basically lists of functions that are going to be defined in the .c file. SO you need both the .c and the .h file.



I'm not sure how you randomly ended up with a .c file... these things don't just pop out of thin air.



Anyway, there isn't just one button you can press for it to work- you have to invoke something called the gcc compiler.

Answer 2

Normally a .c file is source code written in the C language. You would normally use a compiler to compile it in to object code (and possibly an exectuable).



Why do you have one and what are you trying to do with it?

Answer 3

as you have .c file you have to install c language in your pc to run that file
