How To Run C Program In Ubuntu Linux

after installing the latest version of Linux and installing all updates 1. open terminal program :which is in applications-accessories-terminal. # for 2 and 3 step you need an internet connection. 2. type in the terminal: sudo apt-get update 3. type in the terminal: sudo apt-get install build-essential 4. go to the location where you have to save your c file by using cd command in the terminal : mine is "cd Documents" 5. type: gedit filename.c :this will open a new window where you can type your c commands. remember getch() in windows is getchar() and no need of clrscr(): I have written "gedit hahah.c" and then in the gedit window I wrote: "#include<stdio.h> main() { printf("ha..ha..ha.."); getchar(); }" 6. save that file 7. open the terminal and type :gcc filename.c :mine is gcc hahah. this will compile the c program and a file named a.out will be autometically created in the folder you have your c file.(remember you should be in that particular place in the terminal where you have stored the c file ) 8.type ./a.out in the terminal program. hurrreee this will run your c program. 9. press exit to exit the editor.
