An example of the command is when you enter an instruction on the terminal command line, like make testfile. If there is a file called testfile.c or a rule to build it in the makefile file, then make will create an executable called testfile.

It looks like you're trying to make conditions-0 when the source code file is named conditions.c. To create an executable file, there has to be a source file of the same name with the extension of .c or there has to be a rule or instructions in the makefile file that specifies how to build the target file.

My guess is that you are invoking make with target filenames that are slightly different from the source code file name. For example, make adders will not build if there is no adders.c file. Similarly, make conditions-0 will not build an executable if conditions-0.c doesn't exist, not even if there is a conditions.c file. (Unless there is a build rule for those file names - a later lesson.)

Also understand that examples in the lectures generally don't exist (maybe never?) in the appliance, unless they are part of a pset. You are free to create them though.
