Are you sure you saved the file with the header include in it?

You are better off using Visual studio.

your code is entirely correct; "Implicit declaration of function 'printf' " is basically just a way to say that it can't find that function. i can't tell you the exact answer, because i don't know how your environment is set up, but the issue is that the standard library (which has stdio.h) is not being linked with the program when it's compiled

#

... or it's some other weird issue

#

but that's my best guess?

Either this isn't the code you're compiling (you didn't save the file or are compiling a different file), or you edited stdio.h and messed something up in there

The problem is setting up VSCode for projects as a beginner-- not the compiler here. Visual Studio would set it up properly

Having to learn to press ctrl+s is a difficulty curve, that's for sure 😛

Getting VSCode's code runner to work can either be a quick 10 second copy paste or a half hour long or longer painstaking process

i used visual studio instead adn that worked
