Starting to program ;) Need a little help

gamehack · 12-29-2003, 09:34 AM

Today a bought an book for C and C++

and I want to test the first programs

they are very simple: Here is one of them

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {

int num = 100;
printf("The number is %d", num);

return 0;
 }

And I want to compile and execute it,but do not know how to do it

I tried with the command:

Code:

gcc -x C myprogram.c

The book I read is about ANSI C and I think that the code should work on Linux too ?
Thanks to everyone

Hi!

Try this:
gcc -o myprogram myprogram.c
and then run it with
./myprogram

The complete gcc manual is here:

Good luck with your programming!
