So just to reinforce this, I could run gcc math2.c but I'm getting a little tired of this a.out convention and recall that there's this utility called "make" that right now doesn't really improve much, other than give it a better name.

所以我强调这点，我可以运行“gcc，math2，c“,但是我不是很喜欢a，out这个默认的名字,想取消它，那么这里有个叫做“make“的命令“,这个命令现在没有很大的改进，只是把用来更改名字用的。
