You need to create a codeblocks project

https://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php/Basic_Tutorial

[twin plinth]

but i did

i created that program on C

using code::blocks

but i can't run it on C for some reason it doesn't show the option

i don't want my VSC to be my main code runner

@pulsar warren

[twin plinth]

what steps are you following to compile/run the code?

[twin plinth]

vsc is just a text editor, you need to have a compiler installed on your machine. Then setup build tasks which will build your program for you (and optionally run it)

if you don't have a compiler installed, I recommend following this guide https://github.com/HO-COOH/CPPDevOnWindows

yeah but like i just can't open it on Code::blocks. i want to edit my program on Code::blocks

ah well

thought it was an easy solution

thanks anyways

[pulsar warren]

That's normal

You need to create a codeblocks project and add files to it

[twin plinth]

ooh

[pulsar warren]

vsc and cb are different editors. They don't share the same environment file format

Follow the tutorial I sent

[twin plinth]

okay thanks

try programming without an IDE

[pulsar warren]

We're trying to help op, not demotivate her

[grim forge]

in my experience it is 100x easier to do things in terminal and not use IDE

especially for beginners who have a 1 file program

literally all they gotta do is invoke the compiler on their program then run the output

[pulsar warren]

Easier than pressing a single button? Right

[hexed moon]

I uuuuuh completly disagree

running C/C++ in say visual studio to be 1000x easier

also autocomplete, itellisense, debugging options etc

beginners should be using a debugger from moment 1

the moment they wrote hello world they should be getting introduced to it

[grim forge]

well first of all I never used a debugger for the first 5 years of programming

[hexed moon]

cool, then you just shot yourself in the foot for 5 years

[grim forge]

and second of all beginners when they use an IDE don't learn what's going on

[hexed moon]

completly false

[grim forge]

I'll not deny this is true

it is true

look at the questions on here

when people use an IDE they are stupid af

[hexed moon]

false

[grim forge]

they don't understand what's happening

[hexed moon]

and that isn't inherit to using an IDE

that is bad tutelage

[grim forge]

it is for a beginner

a beginner can just easily learn by not using an IDE

it's easiest by far

there is absolutely nothing difficult about using a terminal

especially in a unix like environment

if we're on windows it's a different story maybe

[hexed moon]

what most student don't run ;)

[grim forge]

windows is absolutely garbage

[hexed moon]

false

[grim forge]

but

you can get wsl easily on windows

[hexed moon]

but why would I got with WSL when I can just get visual studio and have a much easier time with learning crap that actually matters

[grim forge]

what do you mean "crap that actually matters"

[hexed moon]

learning c++

you don't need to manually compile on a commandline to understand roughly what is going on what is fine

[grim forge]

??? you think knowing how to build a program is not part of learning the language?

all I'm saying is it's easy

literally all you gotta do is this

gcc program.c

./a.out

boom done

literally way easier than installing and setting up ide

[hexed moon]

or hey use visual studio and press play

[grim forge]

don't understand how it's even debatable

no I'm done with this

all you ide users are trolls

it's actually ridiculous

[hexed moon]

no, I just highly disagree with your point

calling people trolls cause they disagree with you is just a bad case lol

[grim forge]

because you're just so wrong

you can't debate this

you're leaving out all of the details

you don't just have an IDE installed and set up

that's the problem part

[hexed moon]

I mean basically

[grim forge]

no

you don't

look at this question here

on this forum were arguing on

the person is clueless

if someone told them just open a terminal and type two commands they can easily do that

[hexed moon]

for real though, on VS hey I want to do C/C++ development box ticked, make a C++ project and done

problem solved

[hexed moon]

till, windows suddently says hey GCC isn't regonized

[grim forge]

like I said, wsl

wsl --install
nano prog.c
type your program
gcc prog.c
./a.out

segmentation fault

repeat

[hexed moon]

oh hey I am using an IDE, it shows me exactly where the segmentation fault occurs, callstack, variable inspection and more

ohno

if only I coded via the terminal

I would be footgunning myself right now

[grim forge]

sorry, I made a mistake. people who use the terminal never get segmentation faults

[hexed moon]

ofc, they do. but at that point you are going to be needing other tools to actually help debugging it

[hardy nexus]

I can prove this wrong

[hexed moon]

what is defeating your entire point

[grim forge]

can you not tell it is a joke

i don't care about this discussion anymore

don't ping me again

anyone

[hardy nexus]

Ok
