Learning 'C' using Terminal.

Wrote and compiled 'hello world' using 'cc'. The 'a.out' file was output. BUT, I can't get it to run. It says, 'command not found'. The file does have 'x' execute permission. No idea why it won't run. Help.

Installed the Apple tools for the compiler. tnx

Nevermind. searched the forum for the answer. d-uh.

needed to type ./ before a.out. So, it's: ./a.out

hello, world!

make sure you are typing ./a.out and not just a.out. the current directory is not in you launch path.
