My Hello World program doesn't give any output. I have been struggling for a week trying to do different things mentioned on internet such as:

• Adding \n at the end (as printf("Hello World\n");)
• fflush(stdio);
• getch();
• I tried reinstalling C compiler
• I went from ming64 to ming32
• I even tried compiling it with g
• I tried it out on VS code too using command prompt

But no matter what, still I won't get output. The code is as follow:

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

The output on console I get is as follow:

[Running] cd "g:\C WorkSpace\" && gcc Test.c -o Test && "g:\C WorkSpace\"Test
 
[Done] exited with code=0 in 0.453 seconds

The code does compile and creates an .exe file.
The executable file runs and doesn't print anything.

Edit: I have tried it on comamand prompt too but still it won't give output This is what it looks like

Edit 2: It has been pointed out that there must be an issue with my toolchain so I am updating the question with how I have installed it.

I downloaded the setup from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/OldFiles/ downloaded the latest version of mingw-get-setup.exe(86.5kB)

I ran the setup it downloaded things, after that it took me to MinGW Installation Manager

I checked mingw32-base, mingw32-gcc-g ,mingw32-gcc-objc and updated catalog I am assuming it meant installation because it downloaded some files.

After that I setup the environment PATH as C:\MinGW\bin

Edit 4: I have tried running it in command prompt in all possible ways but it won't work

G:\C WorkSpace>gcc Test.c -o Test

G:\C WorkSpace>Test.exe

G:\C WorkSpace>.\Test.exe

G:\C WorkSpace>./Test.exe

CodePudding user response：

In windows operating system, when file compiled then its converted into executable format (.exe)

G:\C WorkSpace>gcc test.c -o Test  //to compile

G:\C WorkSpace>Test.exe  //to execute

you just have to change .\Test to Test.exe

CodePudding user response：

Please go to the setting of VS code; Click on the extension settings on the left side; Search there terminal; Now find the option "run on terminal" turn it on.

CodePudding user response：

Simply type Test instead of .\Test, if you’re on windows
