I just wanted to say that you, sir, are a gentleman and scholar.

Little did I know that the simple act of typing 'gcc' and then an executable file name on a windows command prompt would be one of the most difficult computer science challenges I have faced to date. I have spent hours on videos and articles trying to make it happen, but with no results other than me reflecting on my own poor life decisions leading me up to this point. I wish I had known ages ago that the ENTIRE answer was in this one 11:29 youtube video. After watching this, I can now type gcc from a windows command prompt, and the only thing I have to worry about is how many errors my shitty code will generate. What a simple and joyous worry to have!

Thank you so much for this video!

I just want to thank you a lot for your efforts and well submitted information. Never have I seen such a good and obvious tutorial on this topic! I have been searching almost the whole Internet about solving this problem and have found nothing before your video. It is really useful nad understandable. I suppose, you have saved a lot of lives of those, who have been fighting with this problem for a lot, as me:) Go ahead!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! You may have singlehandedly saved me from failing one of my college modules. If only lecturers could be so clear in their explanations as you.

At least one person who doesn't copy others and show how to install the old 2013 version of MinGW.... xD

I don't understand why do people not hit the like button for something so helpful..

For anyone doing this on a Windows 11 computer, DO NOT add the semi colon like how he does in the video. Windows 11 will automatically create one for you.

Steps for the Path Part and onwards
1. Click Edit
2. Click New
3. Paste Path
4. Select that Path and click on Move up until the paths you want are in the right priority as stated in the video.
5. Install C/C++ on VS code
6. Install Code Runner
