If you omit it, the executable will get the default name, "a.out". To execute it, type ./a.out Note the dot-slash notation before the filename --- it forces bash to execute the a.out command residing in the current directory. Otherwise bash will look for a.out in your default $PATH and typically won't be able to find any a.out executable.
