Problem opening C executable

[Redblade3]

Recently I started to program in C. However, I wanted to do it here in Ubuntu. I wrote a very simple program that displayed a certain text, compiled it using gcc, but when I tried to run the .out, the terminal gave me:

bash: test.out: command not found

I double and triple-checked the code, recompiled, checked that I was in the correct folder and everything, but the error persists.

I would appreciate any help!

cheers!

If the name of the compiler output is test.out, try:
./test.out
