Thread: Works in windows but not in debian

You're not printing a newline ('\n') at the end of the string.

It does if you compile and run it exactly as you posted, but I think you have paraphrased See brewbuck's point; this has to do with flushing the stdout buffer (it also gets flushed on a clean exit).

I am about to start my advanced programming class in Jan and want to get up to par with my C skills so it's imperative to get this working in linux.

By the C standard, main() returns an int. You should compile with warnings enabled:

gcc -Wall mycode.c

and it would have told you, "warning: control reaches end of non-void function".
