COMPUTER NOTES:
TURBO CHistorical Background:
- Turbo C is a particular version of the C Language that has been developed by Borland International Corporation.
- It was first introduced in 1987 and was noted for its integrated development environment, small size, extremely fast compile speed, comprehensive manuals and low price.
- In May 1990, Borland replaced the Turbo C with Turbo C++
- In 2006, Borland reintroduced the Turbo moniker.
The C Language- general purpose, black structured, procedural, imperative computer programming language developed in 1972 by Dennis Ritchie at the Bell Telephone Laboratories for use with the Unix operating system.
Although predominantly used for system software...- C is also widely used for applications.
- C has also greatly influenced many other popular languages especially C++, which was designed as an enhancement to C.
The Turbo C Environment:
- 2 Main Windows:
- Edit Window - serves as the working area of the programmer
- Message window - contains all error messages that will be generated by the compiler
- Parts of the EDIT window:
- Menu Bar - contains major comands used in creating/debugging/executing the program
- Status line - displays the line/column numbers; insert/indent modes and the filename of the program
- Status Bar - contains the "Hot Keys" (function keys)
The Function Keys:
- F1- Help Menu
- F2- Save
- F3- Load
- F5- zoom
- F6- Switch
- Alt F5- Output window
- Ctrl F9- Compile and run
- Alt X - exit
The INPUT and OUTPUT Statements:
- scanf - Turbo C input function
- used to read any type of data entered using the keyboard
syntax:

format string- also known as form modifiers (address operator)
** Format string can be any type of character

GRPAHICS Statements:
- gotoxy( ) - used in specifying a point on the screen

** colors must be encoded in uppercase and must be encoded as one word (in cases of lighter colors)
Colors available in Turbo C:
- White , black, red, blue, yellow, green, brown, cyan, magenta, dark gray, light gray, light magenta, light red, light blue
Special Effects:
- Blink - used together with the specified color
Example:
textcolor (LIGHTRED + BLINK);
- delay( )- used to introduce time element
Example: delay(500000)
- cprintf( ) - output command for colorful output/result
** The header file to specify must be

** The header file for normal output is
