sudo gedit first.c

3. Enter the code bellow in the editor.

/* Program first.c */
#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
printf(”Hello World.\n”);
}

4. Save the file and close to return to terminal window.

5. Firstly compile the code using the following command

cc -c first.c

That would produce an object file you may need to add to the library.

6. Then create an executable using the following command

cc -o first first.c

7. Now run this executable using the following command

./first

8. Output should show as follows

Hello World.

/* Program first.cpp */
#include<iostream>
main()
{
std::cout<<”Hello World.”<<std::endl;
}

4. Save the file and close to return to terminal window.

5. Now compile the code using the following command

A sample factorial program in C

/* Factorial using C */
#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
int i,n,f=1;
printf(”\nEnter the number: “);
scanf(”%d”,&n);
for(i=1;i<=n;i++)
{
f=f*i;
}
printf(”\nFactorial of %d is %d \n\n”,n,f);
}

Output:

$ sudo gedit factorial.c
$ cc -c factorial.c
$ cc -o factorial factorial.c
$ ./factorial

Enter the number: 6
Factorial of 6 is 720
