I remember almost five years back, i met a group of programmer friends who dared not to write any C code because they considered it some sort of black art reserved for only brainy and guru programmers. But through a series of enlightenment now i have put all those thoughts behind me. I have started programming in C and this is my first program. I am not saying the road is going to be smooth, that i know, but i am just saying, i do not see myself relenting in my efforts to program the best of C and Ruby that i can.

1  /* This is an hello world program */
2  #include <stdio.h>

3  int main(void)
4    {
5      printf(“Hello World\n”);
6      return 0;
7    }
To compile the code, cc -c

To make it executable, cc -o hello hello.c

To run it ,  ./hello
