Script/Command for compiling and running a single C file in single step?

I want to run single C files with a single command, just like we can run any python file example.py with the command-

python example.py

I cannot find any GCC or Make command or even any script (in linux) to do this. I want to run any C file example.c with the some command like-

crun example.c

and then the single C file will compile and run. I don't bother if some other files are created in the process. Is there any command or script for this?

You can use a c language interpreter.
Like cint(CINT is an interpreter for C and C++ code.):

This c interpreter (https://github.com/kazuho/C) is also good.
You can do things like this:

root@foo ~:c -e 'printf("hello")'
root@foo ~:hello

Or for something like ipython you can try this:

Something like this?

#!/bin/sh
OUT="$(mktemp)"
rm $OUT
gcc -o $OUT $1 && ( shift ; $OUT $* )
rm -f $OUT
