Syntax Highlighting

Both emacs and vi provides mechanisms for highlighting C syntax, such that it is easy to differentiate between keywords, comments, variables, etc. In emacs, select “Options” and click on “Syntax Highlighting (Global Font Lock Mode)”. In vi, enter, “:syntax on”. Also consider using gvim instead of vi or vim.
