************ IMPORTANT ************
The link for downloading the C compiler referred to in the video does not work anymore due to some issues at https://sourceforge.net/ which is totally out of my control as I do not own that site. However, I have developed a workaround for my students to continue using the GNU-CC compiler. Instead of downloading the executable and installing it, please follow the below simple steps to set up a C compiler on your windows machine. In case you have any questions, please reach out to me by commenting on this video.
