Steps involved in GCC compilation:

1 Preprocessing

gcc -E -o step-1-preporcessing.c main.c

2 Compilation

gcc -S -o step-2-compilation.s step-1-preprocessing.c

3 Assembly

gcc -c -o step-3-assembly.o step-2-compilation.s

4 Linking

gcc -o step-4-linking step-3-assembly.o

5 Running

.\step-4-linking.exe
