you use to write source code?  You can write source code in any
text-editing or word-processing program and then cut and paste
it into a compiler, but most compilers come with their own text
editors. Compiler text editors are geared specifically to the
job of writing source code. They generally color the different
program elements as in the "Hello,World!" example above. This
lets programmers catch mistakes early and read their work more
easily. Some compiler text editors also automatically indent or
outdent lines according to standard C programming conventions.
