Savings changes:


Can anyone help with This?
If I make a change in my codes and compile and run the program, it auto save my program, but sometimes I do not want to the save the new codes because they might not work. I am using DEV C++ .

Thanks,
Chester

The reason I am asking about this is, because if I make a code change and it do not work, I want that same file before I compile it and do something differ.

The compiler reads your source file from the hard drive. If you don't save your work, then that file doesn't change and the compiler can't see your changes. If you want the compiler to see your changes, you MUST save a file.

If you want to keep old versions, you can save the file to a different name as a backup, copy-paste your changes to some other text file, or learn about "source control".
