If ./name is an executable file but you can't just run it from the command line, you may need to grant it executable permissions
chmod +x ./name
see
man chmod

a.out is the name of the executable, and the ./ means it's in the current working directory. You could rename it with "mv a.out name" so that you could execute it with ./name. If you built it with gcc, add the argument "-o name" when you run gcc.
