If you are using GNU Make...
Note - CXX and CXXFLAGS are normally used for C++
       in Makefiles because that's what GNU Make's
       built-in rules use.  CC & CFLAGS are used
       by Make's built-in rules for C files.
       If using GNU Make, most of the built-in
       compile & link rules can be used without
       writing your own

clean:
  -rm -rf $(OBJECTS)
  -rm -rf $(EXECUTABLE)
