How to change variable value without recompiling source code

[ameen]

Can any body tell me how to change inputs (variables) without recompiling source code?
for example I have a code and first I compile it, and then run or execute it. In order to change variables like number of iterations, I have to change it, then compile and run it.

take the arguments from the user at command line.

Another option is to have the values in a text file that the programme reads, and edit that text file.

Or you ask the user to input them interactively.

Also rand() comes to mind.

Orl in Windoze programs, you can use their registry. A lot of Windoze programs make use of that and like DLL hell we have, we have our own Registry hell :P

No wonder "clean-up" programs are very popular on Windoze platform. CCleaner come to my mind :P
