Hi guys,

Is golf.c C, or C++ ? If it is C, please ask in a C forum, such as
comp.lang.c .

Do you have a C or C++ compiler? If you do have a compiler, ask in a
forum specific to your operating system (windows, I assume)

If you do not have a compiler, you must install one. There are many
availible; I will list only one example: gcc, which may be
obtained for windows from any of:

www.mingw.org
www.cygwin.org

so when I write cc golf.c ,it tells me " "cc" is not recognized as and
internal or extenral function command, operable program or bacth file."

This part is platform-specific, and off-topic here. You will get
better help in a windows-specific forum. Roughly, you need to find
out where your C compiler is installed, and add its location to
your path, but it has been some time since I used a windows
machine, and I do not recall the commands to do this.
