I'm new to programming and started learning C, but I'm facing a lot of issues with VS Code. Sometimes my code won't run, and I keep getting problems related to something called a 'JSON file,' which I'm not familiar with. This has been really frustrating for me, and it's hindering my ability to learn C effectively. Can anyone suggest a good code editor that might be easier to use?

If you're just starting out, you might want to stick with a simpler code editor like Notepad or something minimal. All those fancy features can complicate things when you’re trying to learn the basics. Once you've got a grip on C, you can always switch to something more advanced!
Honestly, you can use any decent programming editor for C. Just search for one that works with your OS and give a couple a try. But remember, you also need to install the C compiler for your operating system to make it all work. Google will help you find the instructions! So the steps are: 1. Get the C compiler, 2. Choose an editor, and then you're good to go!
Totally agree! Beginners should avoid heavy IDEs unless they have proper guidance. Notepad++ or Sublime Text are great choices to start coding without distractions.
