You can use xcrun tool:
#/usr/bin/xcrun cc -o file file.c
Note: if you have several Xcode versions you can chose with xcode-select and your command above will use compiler and the rest of the tools from the selected SDK.
Question
I'm trying to execute via command line a code written in C. I tried gcc -o file file.c, but it did not work. I need to learn how to compile and execute a code using gcc and llvm without graphical interface. Furthermore when I compile the program I cannot find the executable file in Finder (there's no Developer folder in Library).
Thanks in advance.

OTHER TIPS
If file.c is in the Desktop directory: Did you change to that directory beforehand?
Usually Terminal.app starts in the home directory, e.g.: /Users/yourname
To get to the Desktop directory:
cd ~/Desktop
Then check if the source file is there:
ls -l file.c
Then try again to compile:
gcc -o file file.c
Check for any error messages. If no output is given everything is fine and there should be an executable which can be (surprise!) executed:
ls -l file
./file
