How to Create a tar file

Suppose you have
1.c
2.c
3.c
To create tar file of name *codes.tar*, the command is
tar -cf codes.tar 1.c 2.c 3.c

c option stands for create.
f for file

tar -czf codes.tgz 1.c 2.c 3.c will create a compressed tarred file.

Now for extracting these is this command
tar xvf codes.tar
tar xvzf codes.tgz

f should go along with filename.
