first program in C

Posted 22 December 2010 - 08:05 AM

I am a beginner for C language!
I've just downloaded turboc. I wrote a simple program in that but i get 4 errors which are listed below:
1- Unable to open include file 'stdio.h'
2- Unable to open include file 'conio.h'
3- function printf should have a prototype.
4- function getch should have a prototype.

When I tried to get help by F2 it shows that
The compiler could not find the named file.
You do not have files set in config.sys on your root directory.
Verify that named file exists.
Set files=20 in config.sys

I tried to search for config.sys directory but failed. How to fix this problem.
My program is as below;

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
printf("HelloWorld!");
getch();
}


MOD EDIT: When posting code...USE CODE TAGS!!!

:code:

TurboC is obsolete by 20 years.

It's so obsolete that you have to resort to some rather specialised hacks to even run it on the latest versions of windows.

Think about it, you're using a 16 bit compiler, capable of accessing only 8.3 filenames and 640K of memory.

And your machine is what - 32 or 64 bit, with more memory and file system than poor old TC could ever imagine.

Get a better compiler than TurboC. Its outdated. Get Code::Blocks or MS Visual Studio.

Why are you working in turbo c?
I recommend switching to MS Visual Studio 2010 or Code::Blocks.
If you have an old computer try an older version of MS Visual Studio.

Third right here.
