I reinstalled Termux, clang and nano to write files. I wrote and saved a file in rb and a file in C. Note that I wrote in the Termux path and here is the result.I can run easily Ruby files but for c I don't reach out the expected result.
Setting up ruby (2.6.5) ...
$ nano simple.rb
$ ruby simple.rb
hello
$ nano simple.c
$ nano simple.c
$ clang nano.c
clang-8: error: no such file or directory: 'nano.c'
clang-8: error: no input files
$ clang simple.c
$ clang simple.c -o simple
$ ls
a.out downloads simple simple.c simple.rb storage
$ clang simple.c
$ clang -o simple.c
clang-8: error: no input files
It works! So, if I understand, after the clang action, A compiled file is created, and I need to open it with prompting it, the same name of file without the ".c" at the end of the name. And to make this I need to type "./filename". Right?
Partially.
Look, C is a compiled langauge, and Clang is a compiler unlike Python or Ruby which are interpreted language.
When you type the command clang simple.c , clang takes the source code and compiles it into machine code into a.out (a.out is default output name) and to run the program you must execute the binary like this $ ./a.out
And you can name the output binary anything you like by simply passing the -o flag, the syntax is like this :
Ah now I understand.
Just Remove
-o
and it should work fine.Do this
clang condition.c

C is a compiled language and It seems
simple.c
is compiled.Just Run the binary
simple
with$ ./simple

@koouty , seems like you're new to C , I would recommend watching some Beginners' Tutorial and Reading some tutorials available on internet.
Many many thanks.
