Building and executing C code using azure

Question

I am a beginner with CI and trying to wrap my head around how the CI file functions.

I have a simple project with a C file, which prints out some statements.

#include <stdio.h>      
int main(){      
printf("Hello C Language");      
printf("Hello C Language Again");   
return 0;     
}    

I have the CI file as shown below :

trigger:  
- main  
  
pool:  
  vmImage: ubuntu-latest  
  
steps:  
- script: echo Hello, world! lets start your pipeline  
  displayName: 'Run a one-line script'  
  
  
- task: Bash@3  
  inputs:  
    script: |  
     gcc -o test test.c  
      ./test  

Since I am using the ubuntu VM, I expect gcc to be installed by default. I pass the usual compiling and execution commands of C.

But I face an error

What am I doing wrong here? Any links for me to grasp it better? Many thanks!
