You did not have stdlib.

You need to include both stdio to get printf and stdlib to get exit.

C has a very small set of functions built in.  You can add in all kinds of
additional functionality.  In order to do that, you need to add the
headers.  Those headers are collected together in the header files.

C has an exit function that is defined, but is not really defined for use.
Standard Lib redefines the exit command you used.  Without that header, the
prototype of the exit command as defined and as used did not match.  By
adding the header at the top, the use and.prototype are now in sync and the
program compiles.

Good Luck
