Answer 1

First of all, Any C program is saved with .c Extension. And C++ program is saved with .cpp extension.

Now coming to compilation,

1. If you want to compile it using Terminal, Open the terminal (Press CTRL + ALT + T).

2. Go to the directory where the file is saved. (You can use cd command to change directory).

3. After reaching the directory , type gcc file1.c.

4. If there are no errors, then you can run the output by typing ./a.out.

Make sure you're the owner of the files. If you're not, you can run:

sudo chown usrname:username /path/to/your/file

Also make sure it's executable:

chmod +x /path/to/your/file
