Definitely you will be in need of a compiler collection if any bit of you is a programmer. Like all Linux flavours, Ubuntu is also enables users with native C and CPP programming facility.

to install the compilers if they are not installed run the following code in Terminal.

This will install essential compiler collection , usually gcc in your ubuntu installation. Now all you need is to create your C program and compile it. to open a file from terminal, type


vi program1.c and press enter.

Esc  :  wq and pres enter.


then type


gcc -o out program1.c and press enter
