.exe on some platforms
In a canonical C compiler, you type "cc (program file name).c (return) and it spits out "a.out", which is an executable. Works with the original Kernighan and Ritchie C compiler. For C++, use the .cpp extension and "g++" for the compiler: In a terminal window, on MacOS, 'cc (program name).c (return)' 'g++ (program name).cpp (return)' produces an executable named "a.out", which can be run. '-o (some file name . extension) will change the output file name.
C-source program doesn't rum, you have to compile and link it. The executable rums like any other binary program.
Binary object code executable.
The shell interprets the script, while the C-compiler generates a binary executable.
C compiler is a set of program written in order to convert a user code into an executable code which is understood by a Computer.
It is 'EXE' on some platforms.
In WinDos it is .exe, in Unix executables usually have no extensions.
The extension of a file containing a C program can be any extension, so long as the compiler or platform can infer the proper rules to build it. Commonly, for C programs, the extension is .c, so myfile.c would be a C program. The term cpp is not a designation for C++. It means C Program Precompiler, and it is the normal way to build one or more C programs into an executable. Over the years, cpp has evolved into being able to handle all sorts of languages. C++ is one of them. Typical extensions for C++ programs are .cc, .cpp, and .cxx.
The extension of c program is ".c".

In Windows, the location isc:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE{X}\winword.exewhere {X} represents a version number for Microsoft Office. Office 2007 is 12, Office 2003 is 11.
Binary object code executable.
from the extension of your file.If it has an extension of .cpp then it is a c++ programIf it's extension is .c, then it is a C program.
Certainly, you can write a program without main, but you cannot build an executable from it, if that is okay with you.
Write the source program. Compile. Link executable. Run it.
