Thank you so so much!! I was really struggling to run programs in VScode but you made it way easy and clear for me through the step by step process. I was searching the right video for hours and finally found this. Was really problematic to find the perfect video.Thank you really!

Thank you so much! Everything is clear and simple. MinGW was installed via another link. As it turned out, the way to install the compiler is no different from what you showed in the video.

There is a bug during installing process, "This file has been downloaded incorrectly!" What can I do with that?

So mingw is used only to compile or build the programs written but to run/execute we need to do it using cmd or powershell??

Just one simple question:
I want to code in C (K&R) - not C++ - in VS Code. My question is - how do I access the "graphics" functions like line and circle?
Thanks in advance!
