Testing Your C Programming Setup in VSCode

To confirm that your C programming environment is set up correctly in VSCode, follow these steps:

Steps to Test Your Setup

1. Create a new folder and open it in VSCode:
   • Go to File > Open Folder and select your folder.
2. Create a new file named hello.c with the following code:

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    return 0;
}

1. Run the code using one of these methods:
   • Using Code Runner:
     • If you have the "Code Runner" extension installed, click the Play button in the top-right corner of VSCode to run the code.

   • Using the Terminal:

     • Open the terminal in VSCode (Ctrl+` or View > Terminal).

     • Compile the code by typing:

       gcc hello.c -o hello
       

     • Run the program:

       • On Linux/macOS, type:

         ./hello
         

       • On Windows with MinGW, the executable might be hello.exe, so type:

         ./hello.exe
