Hello, I have been given a program consisting of several C written modules (neither C++ nor C#), I want to edit/debug/execute so as to understand what it does and how it works, in the easiest and quickest possible way. Which product/package would you advise me to use ? Regards? aprx

Your best choice would be an IDE (integrated development environment). IDE's typically include a syntax-highlighting editor, compiler, and debugger. The most prominent IDE in the Windows world is Microsoft Visual Studio. Most C++ tools will work just as well with C. You can check out a list of IDE's at Programmer's Paradise here[^]. They also sell tools here[^] and here[^] that help with analyzing code.

Any IDE that recognises a 'C' module and has edit/debug capabilities; preferably the one that is going to be used to compile the final code. To fully understand how the code is supposed to work, I reccomend testing it using the origanal IDE (if any, and available). INTP
