Communication with mbed without using terminal emulator
Can we communicate with mbed without using a terminal emulator like minicom or teraterm?
If yes, can we do it using C program?

Yes you can. For starters you can use the regular virtual serial port which also teraterm uses to send messages. How to do that in your C program? That depends on where you develop it in. But generally it will be possible to send messages to a COM port with the correct library.
As I said, it depends on which environment you are programming it for. I don't know which one you use, and if I knew I probably haven't used it myself. I have for example once long time ago done it with .net (okay C++), which simply has a COM-port class that can be used. You'll probably have to google for an example for your specific situation.
