I'm trying to learn C++ using W3Schools and downloaded Code::Blocks to try out a simple "Hello World!" program. However, when I try to build and run it, nothing happens. I want some guidance on what I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

It sounds like you're not getting any helpful feedback from the compiler. Make sure you're creating a console application in Code::Blocks and hitting the green triangle to run it. That should start up a console window where you can see your output.
Just a quick check—did you install Code::Blocks with the MinGW compiler? When creating a new project, select 'Console Application' and make sure to choose C++. Set your project name and location, pick GCC, and then finish. After that, you can build and run it with F9! Check the log window for any messages if things go wrong.
By the way, if you’re on an M-series MacBook, Code::Blocks might not work well because it's an older version of the software. But if you’re using Windows or Linux, that shouldn't be the issue.
For Windows, make sure you have the MinGW compiler installed. It's pretty straightforward to set up, and you can find guides online. Once installed, you should be able to write code in any text editor and compile it from the command line.
