Programming question?

Hello,

I know that programming to make software and stuff like that involves lots of codes and things like that but…where do type in the codes? Is it command prompt? Any suggestions for whatever you program with.
One last question…
How much programming would be involved with the creation of a keygen?

This depends on the programming language, but in most cases, you first create text files in that language with any suitable text editor. You then either execute those text files (for an interpreted language such as Perl or Python), or compile them to an executable (with a compiled language such as C or C++).

Asking which language is “best” is like asking which brand of automobile is “best.” It depends on what you want to do … and who’s giving the answer. :slight_smile:

The reason why there are different languages is because each is suited to different purposes. (And because there are a lot of very bored, very lonely programmers out there who decide to create new languages all the time. :))

For what you want to do with keygen, a simple Bash script might do the trick. Do a Web search on “Linux programming” or even “bash scripting.” That’s a good way to start.

What are you wanting to do? You type the source code in a text editor,
and then sometimes you compile it, but eventually you run it. Which
platform and purposes do you have in mind and we can probably help a bit more.

Good luck.
