Compile And Execute

Create a C program: First, create a C program using a text editor or an integrated development environment (IDE) such as Code::Blocks, Visual Studio Code, or Eclipse. Save the program with a .c

1. Open a command prompt: Open a command prompt or terminal on your computer.
2. Navigate to the directory where your program is saved: Use the cd command to navigate to the directory where your C program is saved. For example, if your program is saved in the Documents directory, use the command cd Documents to navigate to that directory.
3. Compile the program: To compile the program, use the gcc command followed by the name of the program file. For example, if your program is saved as c, use the command gcc myprogram.c -o myprogram to compile it. This will create an executable file named myprogram in the same directory.
4. Execute the program: To execute the program, simply type the name of the executable file and press Enter. For example, to execute the program we compiled in step 4, use the command ./myprogram on Linux or macOS, or exe on Windows.
5. View the output: If the program produces output, it will be displayed in the command prompt or terminal.

That’s it! With these steps, you can compile and execute a C program on your computer.
