Hello Thanks to all of you who replied promptly to my question. I would like to clarify one thing. When I compiled the program using gcc, I tried typing a.out. When that didn't work, I did a ls -l which showed me a file called a.out*.
Doesn't it mean that a.out is in the current directory? So why I should go to a parent directory as in ./a.out to execute it?
