body: <p>so I was trying to test run my dev c++ as usual and it said failed to execute location/name.exe error 193: %1 is not a valid win 32 application. I have not used the compiler for anything complex yet.</p>
  
  <pre><code>#include&lt;stdio.h&gt;
  #include&lt;math.h&gt;
  #define PI 3.14
  int main()
  {
      int r      = 3;
  
      float area = PI*pow(r,2);
  
      printf("the area of the circle is %f",area);
  
      return 0;
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm using Dev c++ GCC (MinGW) compiler.</p>
  
  <p>it compiles properly but when I try to run, it get this error message</p>
