I am learning c through an online tutorial currently. And I
am running Linux, but the tutorial does not deal specifically
with linux. I'm not sure if I am compiling correctly or not
because I get errors when running the compiled program when
using: gcc hellow_world.c which created a file called hello.cs.
Now for some reason after deleting hello.cs I only get a file
called a.out when I compile which runs with no problems.
What's with the name a.out? From what I read from another tutorial, I was
supposed to get a file called helloworld that I could run, and not this
a.out file.
Thanks for your time,
Michael
