If you want to add spaces to the name of your C/C++ files, you will then need to let the compiler know that this is a single file, this can be achived by using quotation marks around the file name:

gcc "If condition.c"

That said, it's not the best idea to have C/C++ files with spaces, you shouldn't do it.

Suggestion: rename If condition.c as If-condition.c or If_condition.c

But using spaces or tabs inside C source code file names is a disgusting and shameful habit (hostile to glob(7) on Linux and POSIX systems)
