The getting started manual that comes with the Keil tools explains all of these and walks you step-by-step thru several example programs. If you install the tools, you can get to this manual from the books tab or from the help menu. When installed, there is a \keil\c51\examples directory that contains 10 or so example programs you can feel free to look at. Start with the hello example. Jon
dear jon, i have tried that,but while writing any code in c,i get confused that what all header files should be included while writing my own code,anyhow thanks a lot for your reply. amer
Have you actually sat down with the Getting Started guide and worked through the examples? If not, do that first! "i get confused that what all header files should be included" The manual clearly states which header is required for each library function. If you click on a library function name in your source code, then press F1, it will bring up the online help for that function - again, this tells you which header contains the prototype.
