Because of the // form.  You guessed the purpose of my joke correctly.
But your command string was buggy.  The correct test would be:

laura$ gcc -Wall -ansi -o helloworld helloworld.c
helloworld.c: In function `main':
helloworld.c:5: syntax error before '/' token
laura$ 


(That is, you were using C++, not C.  And Q.E.D.   :)

(And I'm still joking.  :)    :)


Except about the business decision of going along with client stipulations.

And except about Python.  Which really is better than C++.

Oh, all right.  I'm still joking.
