Editing, Compiling and Running a Program

There are many aspects to creating and running programs. Generally speaking three required basic steps are

entering the text of the program,
compiling the program with a compiler,
and running the compiled program.

For the first step we use a editor. You have several choices of editors available to you on the CATS workstations. pico, emacs and vi are the editors most commonly used.
