How to run code in C

Step 1: Compile the code

• Use a text editor or IDE (such as Visual Studio Code or Xcode) create and save a .c file that contains your code.
• Open a terminal or command prompt.
• Compile your code using a C compiler such as gcc or clang. For example:

<code>gcc filename.c -o filename</code>

This command will compile the filename.c file and create an executable file named filename.

Step 2: Run the executable file

• In a terminal or command prompt, navigate to the location of the executable file.
• Enter the file name of the executable file:

<code>./filename</code>

Other notes:

• Different operating systems may require different compilation command. For example, on macOS, you can use the clang compiler without using the -o option.
• If a compilation error occurs, review the error message and correct the code.
• You can use the -d option to run the code in debug mode. This will allow you to inspect your program's variables and memory usage at runtime.
• You can also use the IDE to debug the code. This will provide more functionality such as setting breakpoints and viewing function calls.
