How to write a C program in Ubuntu?

There are multiple options for writing C programs in Ubuntu, and I will introduce two main methods: using the command line and using an integrated development environment (IDE).

Option 1: Utilizing the command line.

1. Open the terminal by using the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+T or by finding it in the applications menu.
2. Open the file named “your_file_name.c” in the text editor.
3. Write C code in a text editor.
4. Save the file and exit the editor.
5. Compile your_file_name.c into an executable named your_program_name using gcc.
6. – Run your program.

Option 2: Utilizing an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

1. Install Codeblocks using the apt-get command.
2. Open the installed IDE.
3. Start a new C project.
4. Write C code in an IDE.
5. Save the file and then press the compile button or use the shortcut key to compile.
6. Click the “Run” button or use the shortcut keys to run the program.

Regardless of which method you choose, it is essential to learn the basic knowledge and syntax rules of the C language. Additionally, understanding how to use Ubuntu’s command line tools and basic Linux commands can be very helpful.
