To compile and execute a C++ file in UNIX
I compiled a c++ file in Unix as gcc filename.cc. It didn't give me any error. But when I type a.out next it is saying file not found or bad command. The same thing is happening when I try to compile and run a C file giving the command cc filename.c and a.out.
Kindly help me.

Try this:
/a.out
My guess is that you're logged in as root and the default PATH for root is NOT to include the current directory or ".". By saying ./<program_name> you're telling the shell to run the a.out in the current working directory.
You can also compile with the -o option like this:
gcc filename.c -o filename
so the output will go to filename instead of to a.out.
/a.out
