[wild sonnet]

do you expect us to hack into your pc to see the error?

[gritty bridge]

Also what do the errors say

Ussualy they say whats wrong with YOUR code

[wild sonnet]

you cant just press "run" and expect it to work

you must tell it how to run

iirc vscode needs you to make a launch.json file somewhere which tells it what to do

[edgy tendon]

THIS

[velvet parrot]

In case you don't know, writing in ALL-CAPS generally gives the impression of shouting which is impolite.

[wicked mural]

looking at the way you are handling this

i would urge you to download visual studio instead

[gritty bridge]

WHAT?

Im sorry

Anyway that is an interesting error

[edgy tendon]

Does it have to be done manually?

[wild sonnet]

what? writtin the launch.json?

[edgy tendon]

Yes

[wild sonnet]

[edgy tendon]

Noted I am patient🥰

[wild sonnet]

probably better if you do tho

[wild sonnet]

do not spread visual studio propaganda

[edgy tendon]

Yeah so rest of my classmates will have their code run automatically while I will have to do all the work manually everytime🥹

[wild sonnet]

no... just once

[edgy tendon]

This is the fate right🥹

[wicked mural]

or its all microsoft in the end

[wild sonnet]

do you have a .vscode folder in your project?

[wicked mural]

also it is objectively easier to use for a beginner

[wild sonnet]

shush vscode is a little better

[edgy tendon]

Whats the difference?

[wild sonnet]

they wont be a begginer any

m

ore by the time it isntalls

[gritty bridge]

At the end of the day they're just ide's which are there many

[wild sonnet]

kitty walked on keyboard

pressed enter a bunch

[gritty bridge]

For example sublime text's nice

[edgy tendon]

I have alreade made a launch.json file...It is rotting there in a useless manner...

[wild sonnet]

send contence

[exotic storm]

Thank you and let us know if you have any more questions!

This thread is now set to auto-hide after an hour of inactivity

[gritty bridge]

Uh

[wicked mural]

is an editor, it is general purpose , to code with any language , you will have to install extension , do configuration and stuff
is an IDE , it is made for writing C++ / C# code , which means , it already comes with a lot of stuff preconfigured and preinstalled for those specific languages , so it works out of the box

[gritty bridge]

Oh guess im wrong

[wicked mural]

vscode is glorified notepad buddy
i need to run before they kill me

[exotic storm]

Thank you and let us know if you have any more questions!

This thread is now set to auto-hide after an hour of inactivity

[wild sonnet]

so is visual studio or any IDE

it doesnt matter whcih glorified notepad you use at the end of the day its just preferencec it wont make your code run any different

[edgy tendon]

Whats contence?

[wild sonnet]

send whats inside the file

the text in the file

[gritty bridge]

Indeed

[wild sonnet]

I used

• visual studio
• vs code
• codium
• kate
• qt creator
• neovim
• emacs
  and I sucked at writting C++ in all of them equally

[wild sonnet]

the text inside launch.json

[edgy tendon]

Bear this crap I cant anymore...I have been vs code for like 3 hrs now

[wild sonnet]

also send text not screenshots

[gritty bridge]

Send the json bro not the accual text

The text file

[wild sonnet]

no this is fine

[gritty bridge]

I mean yea but

Yk

[wild sonnet]

I am confused, where is the source file?

or the compiler command

[edgy tendon]

I just started a week ago

[wild sonnet]

yk what this is out of my depth Im a neovim dweller you help them bacon

it be a lot easier if you just used cmake tbh

[edgy tendon]

Is there any thing you want me to do?

[edgy tendon]

wdym by json?

[wild sonnet]

you can learn basic cmake and just use that

ik it works well with vscode for a fact cause I used it a while ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGxi500Q5uE&t=415

here is some random tutorial I found

idk if its any good its the first thing I found

[gritty bridge]

The file

If i would say send the png i would reffer to an image because thats an image format

[wild sonnet]

this will be a lot more integrated and easier to set up

[edgy tendon]

okay I guess idk how my teach will react

[wild sonnet]

what did your teacher tell you to use?

cause I will bet you it was probably not vscode

[gritty bridge]

Code::blocks

[edgy tendon]

yes

this one

[wild sonnet]

oh god

you know what

[gritty bridge]

Yea when you send code to people send it like this

[wild sonnet]

maybe just do that

it sucks and is old and you will probably hate it but you can switch ONCE YOU ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING

cause right now its more effort then its worth

and you will have yo figure out everything on your own instead of doing what the teacher says

[gritty bridge]

I reccomend sublime text if u dont wanna use vs

[edgy tendon]

most of my mates are using vs code I dont want to be left out

[wild sonnet]

just do what your teacher teells you do until you can understand how to set up somethin else entirely on your own

[edgy tendon]

wait isnt codeblock meant for c users?

[wild sonnet]

well get them to help you out then

no

[gritty bridge]

C and c++

Also some other thing but those are libraries and stuff

[edgy tendon]

they just started...

[wild sonnet]

just use code blocks for now

if your frinds figure it out later you can switch to vs code later they will help you

if they cant then there you go you wont be left out

[edgy tendon]

How about I delete vs code and everything and then reinstall it?

[wild sonnet]

that wont help

[gritty bridge]

i wish Windows had package managers

[edgy tendon]

I wanna know why

[wild sonnet]

it does

[wild sonnet]

know why WHAT happens?

[edgy tendon]

I will set up everything precisely

unlike the last time🙄

[wild sonnet]

its called winget, it comes preinstalled and it sucks ass

[gritty bridge]

Linux suppremecy

[wild sonnet]

yas :3

[gritty bridge]

Never going back to windows

[wild sonnet]

B)

[gritty bridge]

Anyways any more questions op

[edgy tendon]

It is trash and cranky

[gritty bridge]

I like that we are on the same page

[wild sonnet]

development on linux also doesnt suck ass

it actually just works

and is intuitive

[gritty bridge]

Kitten has eatten fish😭

[edgy tendon]

anyways its my 2nd time reaching out to people for this problem I guess it will persist forever

[wild sonnet]

just

do

what

your

teacher

tells

[gritty bridge]

And nice build

[wild sonnet]

you

please

[wild sonnet]

danke

you will be able to switch to what you want later

when you know what your doing better

[edgy tendon]

teacher suck my ass I hate him

[wild sonnet]

whats the point of attending classes if your not gonna take the lessons they give you

[edgy tendon]

he is very restrictive

he doesnt help

[gritty bridge]

Also why arent you using neofetch is it because its old🐢 👴 🔨

"im old"

[wild sonnet]

if you tried to learn like every IDE and every compiler and everything you would also be restrictive

if your vscode config wont work he wont be able to help you

he cant possibly learn everything

[wild sonnet]

its becose its depricated

and super slow

[edgy tendon]

Give me a one time solution

[gritty bridge]

Slow? K good to know

[wild sonnet]

like a second or two to show basic info?

[wild sonnet]

do what the teacher says

[edgy tendon]

No I mean whats the best alternative?

[gritty bridge]

Fair enough

[gritty bridge]

Dear god thats fast

[wild sonnet]

the best alternative is to do what the teacher says

[gritty bridge]

Or switch to another ide thats simple and gets the work done

[wild sonnet]

written in pure C 😎

[wild sonnet]

dont do that

just do what the teacher tells you

[gritty bridge]

Do what you like just dont blame it on us

[wild sonnet]

if the teacher tells you to for example: switch to c++17 you wont know how to unless you use the exact thing he uses

[edgy tendon]

I am going with this advice bcuz latter was pmo

[gritty bridge]

I reccomend sublime

[wild sonnet]

once you understand how this works well enough to be able to follow his instructions without a direct guide then swithc

[wild sonnet]

doesnt that cost moneys?

[edgy tendon]

Noted

[gritty bridge]

Software managers

Hol up

[wild sonnet]

is it foss?

[gritty bridge]

free

[wild sonnet]

is it foss tho?

[gritty bridge]

idk

[wild sonnet]

doestn look like it is

cringe

gotta use foss text editors

[gritty bridge]

vim?

[wild sonnet]

very simple config I made with just 145 lines of lua and it works grate

[gritty bridge]

neovim

[wild sonnet]

neovim

[gritty bridge]

cool i dohave vim installed althought thats only for cmd tomfoolery and other stuff

[wild sonnet]

neovim is the best >:3

it just takes some getting used to

like a month of getting used to

or 2 or 3 or more

[gritty bridge]

i mean i would use vim and othermore but m typingis iinda bad

[edgy tendon]

hey so I am using codeblocks does it have everything pre installed?

[wild sonnet]

so?

[wild sonnet]

should have

[gritty bridge]

i mean i can type fast but only with my eyes on the keyboard

[edgy tendon]

okay

[gritty bridge]

it has io stream string auto complete

[wild sonnet]

no way to get better then just type

[edgy tendon]

wbt stdio.h

[wild sonnet]

I for one cant type fast when looking at the keyboard :P

[gritty bridge]

i dont code c

[wild sonnet]

stdio.h is a C header not C++

[edgy tendon]

yup I am using stdio.h for now

[wild sonnet]

thats not C++

thats C

and the proper way to use C header in C++ is to use <cHEADER_NAME> with no .h

[edgy tendon]

I am also learning c

[wild sonnet]

so <cstdio>

[edgy tendon]

its like a subset of c++

[wild sonnet]

well this is CPP-help

[edgy tendon]

isnt it?

[gritty bridge]

yes

[wild sonnet]

no

its not

[gritty bridge]

well if cpp is a super set of c why not the other way around?

[wild sonnet]

its the predicesor

[wild sonnet]

c++ is NOT a superset of C, thats why

let me give you an example

[gritty bridge]

us*

me and lungfung

[edgy tendon]

what the hell is this?

[wild sonnet]

;compile

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stddef.h>

void print_pointer(void* pointer) {
printf("%zx\n", pointer);

[wild sonnet]

compiler bot is eivl

here

[gritty bridge]

choose console application and ignore EVERYTHING else

acualy empty file

and that

[wild sonnet]

I could have sworn that c++ doesnt allow implicit casts to void* from another pointer

[gritty bridge]

the hellare you even pointing to btw

to the abyss?

[wild sonnet]

to my_int

[gritty bridge]

mint

mhhhhh

[wild sonnet]

anywyas here is proof

void main {} is (bearly) legal in C but not in C++

in C++ the main function is defined as these

in C its defined as these

including literally fucking anything

so thats why you can do void main in C but not C++

there is a lot of these differences

another example that actualyl matters

in C++ the members of an array have to be filled in the order they were declared

in C they dont

so no C is not a subset of C++ tho it is a common misconception

many C projects wont comile if you compile it as C++
