The problem is that these are two different languages. A c file by itself does not execute. It must first be compiled into a binary executable, which is then able to run. The .c file is the source code file & is human readable. The binary executable file that is created by the compiler is not human readable. A .sh file on the other hand is a script, & is executable by the shell (one given the correct file permission). It is an interpreted language, unlike the .c file which is compiled. This means two things, 1 the script must be run by the shell (the interpreter) & 2 it is executed line by line.

Now, with all of that technical background out of the way, what I think you may need to do is call a .sh file to execute your binary file from the .c file. Or possible you may need to compile the .c file with a .sh shell script. You may want to check with your instructor as to what is required, because the way in which you have asked here doesn't make sense as it isn't possible because of the two different technologies.
