Hello mister, I am very proud of your tutor. I am a student studying informatics and I was given an assignment to code C++. It's been a week and I've been getting errors.❤

[@ismaeltezoh5824]

This is something I have tried several times but I still can't do it

[@alexanderliammontefalco4789]

I am having an error when I run it . The error is "g++: error: Downloads\programcodes\programTEST: No such file or directory
"

[@vnzlb]

Glad it worked for you guys, mine is not...

[@anllerys]

I follow everystep one by one and whem finished the helloWorld last 5 to 10 seconds to run, any advice. I try in visual estudio 2022 and happen the same.

[@meliodassama988]

Really need help, my visual code says "cannot build and debug because the active file is not a c or c++ source"
I made a .c and a .cpp file, both don't work

[@jagratitripathi1861]

Same here did you get any help

[@meliodassama988]

@@jagratitripathi1861 i forgot how but i download some extensions from microsoft for running, compiling, and debugging, as well as some color coded lines lol.
I managed to use it when i save the file and THEN build it

[@agamer2943]

try to remove space from "a .c" to make it "a.c"

[@Sidmohiteee2008]

Ya that was the exact probleem i faced thanks sir for making me overcome over it

[@AminAlan]

Is it possible to upgrade to updated C and C++ versions of MSYS?

[@meliodassama988]

just wanted to clarify, why is microsoft c/c++ has only c++? what extension is for c only?
newbie here

[@drainmysack]

c and c++ are the same, c++ just uses classes and objects where c does not

[@jagratitripathi1861]

Because c is a subset of c++ so we will be able to access features of both languages with c++

[@abc-qk3ml]

because c++ is c with oop

[@souljarohill8795]

Worked to a tee. Thank You

[@StormCloudStudios189]

The "Edit Environment Variable" window aren't the same as that one when I clicked on "Path."

[@mariatanzin3513]

Same here

[@andrewsoufia2279]

are these safe to download and use?

[@osamagx78]

does it work for those who sve their code in a usb flash drive ?

[@MainHook]

Hi! I'm sorry for using this space asking you this, but my Hello World took 10+ seconds to compile and run. Awkward, right? Already reinstall the MSYS2, use the g++ instead of the gcc on c_cpp_properties.json but nothing worked. Maybe if I could compile and run the same Hello World program on another IDE, to see if this is a VScode problem, but idk how to do it. Can you help me, pls? Thank you!

[@bepawsitiv]

my vs code takes 6.2 second to print hello world

[@amazing_reels01]

bro after inputing y command it is showing same thing ....i.e Enter a selection (default=all): what to do ?

[@ravishankarkumar6753]

Same

[@aswinxi-b8756]

Press enter

[@lancetumanan]

can i install this on another drive of my laptop?

[@alexandreramalho9637]

can't belive I wasted my time seeing the last year guide... oh god, thanks

[@PedroFalcao-lp9lk]

Straight to the point! Ty so much

[@davideschreiber2821]

Completed everything as described, but get error message when I try to run a program. So frustrating. I think I'll abandon C with curses and stick with Python.

[@amirnafissi7393]

If it doesn't work once you ran vs code, make sure you added the correct path to your system environment variables. The default should be C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin

[@selviranin7000]

You are a life saver! Thank you 🎉

[@stevengaming55]

i now get the error
"the prelaunch task 'C/C++:gcc.exe build active file' terminated with exit code -1."
what to do ?

[@SpaceVultureV]

Yo same. Idfk what to do tho

[@ryoasuka5528]

Same problem here...

[@komaedanagito841]

Select use g++, not gcc, when you're debugging

[@ayushpawar5657]

I assume you have selected something else while selecting for run and debug, search for tasks.json file, then delete everything inside outermost parenthesis, now save the file, this deletes all the saved settings,
Now you can again click on run button in your active window, when asked for a selection select C/C++: g++.exe option. Now it will work as expected.
