If You check /bin You will se that there is a "program" called test.
Execute man test.
When You tried to execute Your test program, You didn't write ./test
which means execute test program in current directory.
In Your case the shell executed /bin/test instead of Your program.
You can add "current directory" to Your PATH environment variable:
PATH=.:$PATH
In this case the current directory will be "checked" first for the
executable program that You entered at the prompt.
Check out the man page for Your shell, it will explain the PATH
variable.
