compile in c

To compile a C program, follow these steps:

1. Open a text editor and write your C code. Make sure to save the file with a .c extension, such as "myprogram.c".

2. Open a command prompt or terminal window on your computer.

3. Navigate to the directory where your C file is saved using the "cd" command. For example, if your file is saved in the "Documents" folder, you would use the command "cd Documents".

4. Once you are in the correct directory, type the command "gcc" followed by the name of your C file. For example, if your file is named "myprogram.c", you would type "gcc myprogram.c".

5. Press Enter to execute the command. The GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) will compile your C code into an executable file.

6. If there are no errors in your code, the compilation process will complete successfully, and you will see a new file in the same directory with the name "a.out". This is the default name for the compiled executable file.

7. To run the compiled program, type "./a.out" in the command prompt and press Enter. Your C program will be executed, and you will see the output on the screen.

That's it! You have successfully compiled and executed your C program.
