Is there a way to compile and run a C program from VIM without typing its filename ?

A:
:!gcc -o somename % && ./somename
When using :!, % will be subsituted by the name of the currently opened file.
When your project becomes larger, you can also write a makefile and compile the current project with :make, if there are any errors, vim will jump to them automatically.

+1 for pointing out that % is substituted by the filename.

@Coder: No, you can accept the answer. Just click the check. You don't need any amount of votes for that.

A:
use the following mapping code in your .vimrc file. for compile and run a c programming file.
map : !gcc % && ./a.out
F8 key for run the mapping.
"%" is taken the current file name.
