To compile and run a C or C++ code on a Linux system, you will need a C or C++ compiler installed on your system. The most common C compiler on Linux systems is the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), which is available by default on most Linux distributions. To install GCC on a Debian-based system (such as Ubuntu), you can use the apt-get
command:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
This will install the necessary tools, including GCC, to build and compile C and C++ code on your system.
Once you have a C or C++ compiler installed on your system, you can use the gcc
or g++
command to compile your code. For example, to compile a C program named hello.c
, you can use the gcc
command like this:
gcc hello.c -o hello
This will compile the hello.c
source code into an executable file named hello
.
To compile a C++ program, you can use the g++
command. For example, to compile a C++ program named hello.cpp
, you can use the g++
command like this:
g++ hello.cpp -o hello
This will compile the hello.cpp
source code into an executable file named hello
.
Once you have compiled your code, you can run the executable file to execute your program. For example:
./hello
