Error in VScode when trying to run code in C

[Anshu sharma]

When i try to run code in VScode of C, I get this error "cl.exe build and debug is only usable when VS Code is run from the Developer Command Prompt for VS."

 What is this error and how can I fix it, can any one help me.

 

I am just starting to learn programming, I only have prior knowledge in QBASIC(Interpreter) and in HTML+CSS, and now learning C as it is in my course material for grade 10.

This code written is just a random code i found on the internet, i don't know hat it dose nor do i know if it has anything wrong.
