Compiling C codes in Ubuntu

Solution 1:

You can compile from following command :

$ gcc -o object-file C-source-file

Then try to run :

$ ./object-file

For C code you can use cc command too also you can use g++ for C++.

Once your code becomes more complicated and you start using more and more files, the above will become cumbersome and you'll want to look into "makefiles". They work for small projects too, so the sooner you become familiar with them, the better. If you later code in C++, you will also likely use these.
