Im attending an electronics school and they got me learning C programing now.
Just wondering how much memory the C program would consume on a laptop. I have the disk with the program and files but not sure if i have enough memory to support it

try LCC as it might be good enough for learning for embedded programming.

It depends on what the program does but more then likely it will be less than 1 MB.

GCC and Notepad++ is a nice combo for C...

Check out MinGW if you're using Windows. It contains a Windows port of GCC and all of the accompanying tools, libraries, and headers. You ought to be able to run it with any laptop made in the last 12 years or more.

As far as I know, all the computers at school run off windows. I think the Pelles C IDE disk I have is the basic stuff. I know it has the whole program and shell. I would think it wouldn't take much space since I have to write any program I want into it.
I mainly need practice on my,
1. Do while loops
2. If/else lines
And some other loops. While I'm at it, is there an app on the cell phone market for Pelles C IDE? I'm lookin to see if some app maker has developed a C program that can be used on mobile phones so I could practice without a laptop. No, I don't have a iphone, I have a Gen1 Droid.

That's what I run. That and the G++ port.  Microsoft tools only get opened if I'm programming in C#.
