New to coding. Am reading "C Programming Absolute Beginner's Guide". I was instructed to download Code::Blocks to use as I learn to code using C. I followed these steps.
1.visit codblocks.org
2.click Downloads on left side
3.choose binaries
4.chose Mac OS X (that is what I use)
5.downloaded through sourceforge.net
6.once downloaded, open and open new empty file
7.type code specified
/* Prints a message on the screen */
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf ("Just one small step for coders. One giant leap for");
printf (" programmers!\n");
return 0;
}
8.click build and run icon or build icon and then run icon
These are exactly all the steps I was given. When I click the "build and run" icon nothing happens. If I only click "build" nothing happens and then I click "run" a little box appears that says "Information-It seems this file has not been built yet. Do you want to build now?" If I select yes, nothing happens. If i select no, a couple "terminal-bash" boxes appear with a few lines of writing that I do not recognize on them.
Would someone be able to point me in the right direction? I apologize if my problem comes across as ignorant, I am extremely new to code::blocks and coding.
Thank you!
