When you type "a.out", Linux checks the various "path" directories (e.g. 
"/usr/bin") for a file named "a.out".  If it can't find it, then it 
tells you that, well, it can't find it - that the command doesn't exist :o).

You can get around this by typing the exact path of the program.  Say 
a.out is located in "/home/sridhar/".  You can type "~/a.out" (from 
anywhere), or change to your home directory and type "./a.out".
