please suggest me a 'friendly' C compiler where we have two simultaneous screens for writing the source code, see the output (execution results) and the contents of memory locations.

thanks
 

what you require is an 'ide' for c compiler.

you can write source , see the execution output with few keystrokes .

but memory lacation viewing i cannot understand .
why do you want and what is your os?

Windows 7

You're right, I looking for an IDE.

By memory locations, I want to view the contents of memory locations shown by the pointer.

I use TC 3.0 and it is not user friendly
 

then better use gcc . tc(turboc) is very good at learning but not for your requirement.

use gcc with gdb then you can see the locations.

Try visual studio express (it is free) if you are planning to build windows programs. It has everything you mentioned including memory watch window. Hope this helps.
 
while visual studio meets the requirement ,
for real learners gcc and gdb is good.

for vc , in my view, have all , but the programmer has to learn a lot on
how to use the ide for his requirement.
ofcourse,vc ,only can give the recent os access functions if the user is a win32 gui programmer.

for the basic and common application writers for all (previous)win versions ,
gcc is the answer.
if the work(job) environment demands only vc then it has to be learned and used.

GCC is the best, I think this because has long time in development and improvement, there support for many others languages (such that ADA, C++, FORTRAN, etc) and platforms... and is fundamental piece for building embedded kernel and applications in Unix-like environments...
