I want to know whether how is a source code in notepad can be converted to be executable?
You need to run it through a program called a compiler.





I recommend using Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition to open up the notepad-like documents (should have a .c extention rather than a .txt)


http://www.microsoft.com/express/vc/





Then you can run them through the compiler using F5.














Or you can use Cygwin to compile notepad documents with the GCC compiler

Or any of these if you don't like using the two biggest and most popular ones around:
