newbie: how to use Dev-c++

[thelearner]

Hi,

I just installed Dev-c++ and Tried to create my first hello
world program. After I finished coding, I click ctrl + F9
to compile (with no error). Then I press ctrl + F10 to run,
there was a quick flash came out (couldn't tell what it
was). I thought I was going to get "hello world" somewhere,
what did I miss?

Here is my code.

#include <stdio.h>

main()
{
printf("hello world\n");
}


Thanks

thanks for the response.
Another question, for each program that I created, after
compiling I got 4 files (hello.dev, hello.c, hello.o,
hello.exc). Do I suppose to have all these?

>Do I suppose to have all these?
Sure:
hello.dev - the project file you created (how to build the exe)
hello.c - the source file you created
hello.o - the object file created from the source file (output by the compiler)
hello.exe - the executable file created from the object file(s) (the output of the linker)
