hello my code creates the converted file and when I compile it manually it works. But when I automate it, its not working.

its giving me this error: Undefined symbols for architecture arm64: "_printsum", referenced from: _main in translated_code-70c787.o ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture arm64 But the thing is when I am manually doing it, its giving the outputs.

I’ve put the same thing which I was using to compile manually so like cc -o final translated_code.c translated_code1.c

The error you are getting usually mean you are trying to compile an object file. In other words a file with the ".o" extension. Object files are used when compiling multiple files together. If you want to compile two files together you need to "include" the other file in the main file. Usually the easiest way is to define a header file and then use a make file. However, you can't submit a header file or the second file or a make file so you need to merge the files together. This will fix the issue. I would describe how to compile two separate files, but I don't want people doing that since it goes against the requirement of the project. Just write one file to the other and compile a single file.

I have made a function which combines it, and it works but when I add it to the actual code, it is giving an error with one of the files. Another question is, I won't use the old way to compile but I don't understand why I wasnt working when I made the system write the execution. But when I wrote it in the terminal it works.

E.g. mac vs linux. gcc is more particular wants things done a certain why. I think clang is more lenient. Or in other words I think you are using different compiler for the manual compiling vs the automatic compiling. So, in other words the one that works figures out what you mean and the other one that doesn't wants you to explicitly state what you want.
