The text editor called Sublime Text, the compiler Clang, and your Mac terminal can all work together so you can write simple programs on your Mac. I am running on the assumption for now that you have already installed Clang and Sublime Text on your computer.
Just follow below steps to configure sublime text to compile and run C and C programs. I have tested the steps in sublime text 3 but I am sure it will work for any other version also.

For the Mac people, it meant that they didn’t know how what tool to use apart from X-Code which of course didn’t work (but it did for C) and me, it meant that I had to find a way to compile my code written in mere text editors like Atom or Sublime. Emacs is a Unix based text editor tool which is used by programmers, engineers, students, and system administrators. It allows you to add, modify, delete, insert, words, letters, lines, and other units of text. This Sublime text alternative Mac offers full Unicode support for many human scripts.

Use the Power of Three for Writing & Compiling in C:
Write a Program in Sublime Text
Go ahead and write something in C, perhaps a “Hello World,” as this is always a good start.
Save your Sublime Text file to your location of choice in your computer. For example, I saved my file as ‘helloworld.c’ and saved it to a folder called ‘workspace_cpp’.
Install Sublime Text 3
Use Your Terminal
In your terminal, navigate to the folder your file is in. Type ‘clang’ and the file name, in this case, ‘helloworld.c’
Nothing occurs yet, since clang was simply used to compile the program.
Alternatively, the shortcut is to type in the command: ‘make’ and the file name (without the file type).
To run the program, type into your terminal ‘.a/.out’
The output will print on the terminal. In my case, the next line on my terminal looks like this:
Everytime you make changes to your program, remember, you will need to re-compile your program with clang, and then re-run your program.
Sublime Text C++ Compiler
The Computer Science of it All
Source code –> compiler –> machine code
Sublime Text C++ Compiler Macro
Source code is the input, such as the Hello World program. The compiler is the algorithm, in the form of software. The output is the machine code, or binary (0’s and 1’s).
Clang, as noted above, is a compiler. It’s short for “C Language.”
Sublime Text C++ Compiler Machine
.a/.out runs the program, and is specifically a file format. It is short for “assembler output.”
