Programming Languages are a form of comunication between a programmer and the hardware. So the code written in C has to be compiled/transformed into machine code (similar to Assembler) so that the hardware can understand what to do. Compilation leaves your code ready to excecute. Withought it you only have the recipe of what the program does.

Because source code can not be executed directly, first you have to produce an executable program from it. That's what you call compilation.
Your program is portable if you can compile and execute it on different platforms.
First, install a C-compiler.
C-source program doesn't rum, you have to compile and link it. The executable rums like any other binary program.
No you can't. main() is the entry point of a C program where execution starts. Only a single main() can exist in a C program. A program with 2 mains wil not even compile successfully.
Use inline assembly instructions. Then compile your C++ program to produce the machine code.
