How to Run C/C++ in Linux/Unix

Step1: Type the C/C++ source code using any text editor of your choice,
and save it with the extension .c for C programs and .cpp for C++ programs.

[linux c/cpp compiler, gcc, uses the extension of the source file to recognize the coding language].

Step2:To compile , assuming the source file name to be input_filename, type in the following command at the command prompt;

[root@localhost ~]# gcc -o

output_filename input_filename

Note:- there is no space between -o and output_filename

Step3: To run the output file, type in the following command at the command prompt:

[root@localhost ~]# ./

output_filename

END of Steps
--------------------------------

For example, to compile a source file named mysource.c, to produce an outputfile named myout, and to execute it, we can use the following steps:

[root@localhost ~]# gcc -o myout mysource.c
[root@localhost ~]# ./myout
