Invoking just that will leave you with a file called a.out in the current
directory. Check if that is the case, try running with ./a.out, if yu want
to change the output of the compile filename invoke gcc with -o filename as
well as the name of the c source name. The lack of output would imply you
made no errors in the c program, well done!
