i was trying to learn how to program in C with a tutorial from youtube
i downloaded crimson editor and MinGW i tried to do the little program hello world it did not work properly as described in the tutorial i uninstalled crimson editor and MinGW and redownloaded them i thought that when i uninstalled them that i would be able to start again fresh but the newly downloaded crimson editor was still set up the same way so i was not able to correct my mistakes my question is how can i start over again fresh with this elementary C program

Hey, i haven't a clue about your problem sorry. (i haven't used MinGW).

But i have a set of tutorials i always suggest to people beginning to program in C/C++:
www.cprogramming.com Just because i've tried using youtube tutorials for things before and found them useless, and because i love those tutorials.

The MinGW problem probably relates to the registry, what was the problem with the program? If you post the code maybe we can help.

Cheers,
Jamey

Could you specify what you mean by "did not work properly"? Also, why are you trying to reinstall the editor? It should be possible to change settings, create new projects, etc. still (although I don't use that editor).

The code itself is most likely the important part. If you post the code (please use indenting and code tags) we can see if it looks ok. You can find the code tag as a number/sharp/pound symbol to the right of the quote tag button while writing your post.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
printf("Hello World");
return 0;

}


this is the program. I uninstalled crimson editor and MinGW and used regedit to go into my registry and deleted the programs there,then i downloaded them again and reinstalled them and tried to do the program again. I do not think that the program compiled. when i tried to execute the program i got the error " 'hello World' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

is the name 2 words? try making it one (i know it sounds stupid but it may[may] be the problem)...

either that or go looking for a helloworld.exe somewhere in the source/output folders and try run it from there
