Why I am getting the following error
/tmp/ccuWdVB3.o: In function `test':
MyCode.c:(.text+0x1c): undefined reference to `sqrt'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
MyCode.c
#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>
int test(int input1)
{
int x = 8;
int z = sqrt(x);
}
int main(int argc, char * a[]) {
}
when running with command:
gcc -o a.out -lm MyCode.c
But when I am running the command
gcc MyCode.c -o a.out -lm
everything works fine. Why the order of "MyCode.c" cli option is important here ? Or Am i doing something wrong?
