为什么 Visual Studio Code 无法编译我的 C 代码？

Question

I have a problem which is: VSC can't compile my C code as the title said. I have looked for the problems and did all what was necessary:

• installed msys
• installed mingw
• installed C/C++ extensions
• added code runner

Yet the problem is still showing like this:

gcc.exe: error: name.c: No such file or directory

(Note that I'm an absolute beginner when it comes to using VSC and don't have any background in coding so I'd appreciate it if I get to know the solution by simple vocabulary:) )

Answer 1

It seems like your c file('name.c') is not located in your working directory.

Moving your c file to your project folder may solve your problem.

To check your working directory, choose terminal tab and type 'pwd'.
