Creating .exe files?

I have no knowledge in programming.





.exe files falls under which language?





C, C+, C++, Visual Studio?

Creating .exe files?
The .EXE extension simply means it is an executable file. There are other extensions that are also executable, but we'll stick with the common one. This convention is primarily a DOS and Windows thing. Other operating systems do not use the EXE extension even though they may be executable files or programs.





Any compiled program for Windows will generally become an EXE program. Languages that are compiled include C, C++, C#, Visual BASIC, and others.





Visual Studio is just the interface to the various Visual languages from Micro$oft.





If you decide to learn about programming, you'll eventually find there are a lot of details I left out. Sometimes there are multiple steps to creating an EXE file.

Reply:The .exe files are not particular to a programming language.


When you have written a program in C or VB or whatever, you can 'compile' it and output it as a binary executable file (.exe).
Reply:.exe files are 'executables.' Other examples of executables are .scr, .vbs, .bas. These files are standard to Windows operating systems, and on other operating systems different file extensions are used instead.





.exe files are not native to any one programming language. C, C++, C#, Java, Visual Basic, COBOL and many more can turn their native code into an .exe file. They do this by communicating with a 'compiler' which takes their instructions and turns them into instructions that can be understood by your hardware. 'Assembly' Language (ASM) does this directly, so that rather than writing code that resembles English in any way, you are left typing pairs of hexadecimal numbers that represent instructions for the CPU to follow.





If you are looking to get into programming, I would suggest you start with a scripting language like JavaScript. You can find thousands of tutorials and resource websites online - one of my favorites for starting out is http://www.w3schools.com





Hope this helps!
