Syntax error near unexpected token '('

Question

As a beginner, I am trying to write a simple c program to learn and execute the \"write\" function.

I am trying to execute a simple c program simple_write.c

Answer 1

Ok,

I got what i was doing wrong.

These are the steps that I took to get my problem corrected:-

1. $ gedit simple_write.c

2. Write the code into this file and save it (with .c extension).

3. $ make simple_write

4. $ ./simple_write

And I got the desired output.

Thanks!!
