You should use any text editor to write the source code, e.g. vi, emacs, pico, or anything else. &nbsp;I personally recommend emacs. &nbsp;If you're working on a workstation, it has C syntax coloring and it will automatically match parenthes (all kinds: (), [], {}). Start it by typing at the command prompt:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; emacs filename.c<br />
After you've created the file, compile it using gcc or cc or whatever compiler is available on your system:<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; gcc -o outputfilename filename.c<br />
<br />
This is the simplest thing you would do. &nbsp;Of course, if you're working on a large project, you'll have a make file to compile the sources and also you'll probably use some flags to pass to the compiler. &nbsp;From you question, I believe you are just starting working with C, so my answer should be enough to get you started.<br />

I just  started programming in C and  I need to  write a  C   programme
in  Unix.   How do I start?

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
