Is it just some arbitrary code or something that we have to provide the the .ml file, can I get an example?

Hello Josiah, You appear to missed a significant amount of understanding about the project. Your program, runml, will transpile/translate/convert a small ml program into a C11 program (creating a new text file to hold that C11 program). That C11 program then needs compiling and, if successful, the resultant program executed. That C11 is not just some arbitrary code, but a translation/mapping/conversion of each of the statements and functions in the original ml program. Hope that helps,
