Might you have forgotten to read the Keil getting started documentation?
Or forgotten that your problem is related to a51 which is architecture-specific?
Or that Keil uvision contains an editor, a simulator and a debugger - so why need Notepad?
Perhaps a good time to get your ass off the desk, and email the professor?
Do you have a board. Can you find some example code to get you started. Blinky type examples are a good start. As far as 3x8 decoder you need to work with GPIO interfaces. Perhaps one GPIO can be setup as input and another GPIO can be setup as outputs. I am not very familiar with 8051 however only ARM. So I not even sure if 8051 calls there IOs GPIO.
First however I would get used to working projects. That is example projects you have not wrote. So you can learn what is in a working project. I would also get a board that you can use instead of just simulating.
I have wrote the code for my first project and iam just trying to get it thur the translator so I can go to next step.. with zero luck.. iam draggin myself thru this class because I have to have it I don't plan on doing any programming after this
Dragging yourself through the course sounds like a bad investment.
School is a privilege - and getting great grades can help when you want a job. Even if some of the courses aren't relevant for the job. Companies employs people who come off as doers, and who can show a previous track record. Your school exam papers are one such track record - the important thing isn't what you read but your ability to learn. After all, a quite significant percent of the population will end up with jobs that are significantly different from what they studied for.
If you spend time listening and following to the lectures, you don't need to drag yourself through the assignments. So you save time and get a more enjoyable study time. Why spend days waiting to know if you passed or failed, when a reasonable amount of studying will be enough to make sure you will pass?

Ever considered becoming a consultant?
Ever considered becoming a consultant? while the above smear may be accurate in a few cases it is an insult to the rest of us
I was just trying to pick your brains being you guys have experience with this programming! I don't get why someone would spend So much energy responding with negativity. .from my stand point I get the concept but unsure of why I cudnt get my file to read..again solderin wiring reading blue prints that's me... you guys can have this programming imo it's difficult challenging and for what I do uness...as for the flood of negative comments the preaching...have anything negative to say just dont... I don't have time nor energy for it however if anyone has insight and would like to spare therebknowlege on the subject id be very greatfull to hear what you have to share...ie even like to put the code I came up with form project one to see if I sstruck out or for it right...so for any of you guys thathave tried tohelp thanlnyou very much
I don't have time nor energy for it
if you had had the time and energy to follow the advice in the first reply, there would not have been any 'negativity'
toolset 'none' (almost) always indicates that someone is looking for fried pigeons to fly in through the window, it is no effort to select properly
if you want help, be specific, not "I can't do this" but "I am doing so, what is wrong"
