如何在 Visual Studio Code 中编译 C 程序？

Question

I installed VSC and wrote this program

#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
    printf("Hello world!");
}

Then I installed a C/C++ debugger and I saved the file on the desktop as "hello.c" and magically the syntax became higlighted.

Now I would like to run the program, but can't find a way.
There's no "run" or "build" option anywhere, and if I start the debugging and choose the debugger then I got a new tab named "settings.json" with a couple of brackets waiting for me to write something.

Also in the left I can read that I "have not yet opened a folder". What does it even mean?

And the line #include <stdio.h> is underlined in red, like there's something wrong going on, maybe I have to download the library?

I would do anything to see the output of the program, please help me.

Answer 1

have you added c/c++ and code runner extensions?
