How to Check GCC Version in Ubuntu

GCC stands for GNU Compiler Collection. As the name implies, it is a set of compilers that are used for compiling C and various other source codes in Linux and other operating systems. You can read more about GCC on their official website.

In this small post, I am going to demonstrate the procedure of checking the GCC version in Ubuntu 20.04.

Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu 20.04 machine
  • GCC compiler already installed. If it is not installed, follow this guide to install it.
