So, follow this post from www.ubuntugeek.com. This post said that………

If you are a developer you need C and C++ Compiler for your development work. In Ubuntu you can install the build-essential for C and C++ compilers.

Install C and C++ Compilers in Ubuntu

sudo aptitude install build-essential

This will install all the required packages for C and C++ compilers

Testing C and C++ Programs

• Compiling Your first C Programs

Now you need to open first.c file

sudo gedit first.c

add the following lines save and exit the file

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf(“Hello, World!\n”);
return 0;
}

Firstly compile the code using the following command

cc -c first.c

that would produce an object file you may need to add to the library.
then create an executable using the following command

cc -o first first.c

Now run this executable using the following command

./first

Output should show as follows

Hello, world

• Compiling your first C++ program

If you want to run c++ program follow this procedure
g++ is the compiler that you must use.
you should use a .cpp file extension rather than a .c one
You need to create a file

sudo gedit first.cpp

add the following lines save and exit the file

#include <iostream>
int main()
{
std::cout << “Hello, World!” << std::endl;
return 0;
}

Run your C++ Program using the following command

g++ first.cpp -o test

./test

Output should show as follows

Hello World!

And I test on my Toshiba laptop.

But, I test with this code only for C++ which is the same above.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
cout << “Hello, World!” << endl;
return 0;
}
