2. a.out is the default output file name. If you want it to be called something else you have to tell it what. Your command should have been

gcc -o HelloWorld Hello.c

then to run it enter

./HelloWorld

In a terminal once you are in the correct directory.

------
Alternativley if you are happy for the program to be called "a.out"

./a.out

should run it

Thanks. It worked. Is there any other way to get the output directly in the terminal without creating any output file?
