Lab Requirements
Weekly Program
Lab Task

METU-Online
(for recent announcements, course materials)

Environment/Compiler to be used
Dev-C++ Compiler
How to obtain?
How to compile and run?

Lab Requirements
Students who do not attend 3 or more labs will fail
from the course!!!
A lab test will be given and is to be solved during lab
hours. Lab grade will mainly depend on it.
The lab task will be a programming exercise which you
will do during the lab hours on your own. It will be an
INDIVIDUAL task so you cannot cooperate!

METU-Online

Creating a new source file:

Area
where
code is
written

Compiling the source file (3 ways):

1) File menu > Execute, 2) Icon on toolbar 3) Shortcut keys (CTRL+F9)

No error in the code, so we can run the executable file

Running the executable file (3 ways):

1) File menu > Execute, 2) Icon on toolbar 3) Shortcut keys (CTRL+F10)

After running the executable file, you see the output:

After compiling, you may encounter compile errors which you must eliminate in order
to have an executable file
You see an example below. Dev-C++ shows you where the errors are. You should
understand cause(s) of the errors and fix them. After getting a hands-on experience
with your compiler, you will be able to obtain error-free codes.
