    @Annabelle Did you install MinGW? If so, is c:\MinGW\bin\gcc.exe valid path pointing to the C compiler?

    1. Yes.
    2. Yes.

    And now when I try to build and run, I get this error.

      I don't have experience with Code::Blocks, so my ability to help you is a bit limited. Nonetheless, my guess is that you installed Code::Blocks first, and then you downloaded MinGW from a different place. Is this correct? If so, there is likely a configuration problem.

      The cleanest way forward is probably to:

      1. Uninstall Code::Blocks
      2. Uninstall MinGW
      3. Download the single package which sets up both for you. Select codeblocks-17.12mingw-setup.exe from http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26

      If you still have issues after all of this, the folks at the Code::Blocks forum might be better able to help you: forums.codeblocks.org/

        I tried downloading Codeblocks Mingw Setup from https://sourceforge.net/projects/codeblocks/, but it fails every time. What do I do next?

                    The error says that your compiler is too old and it doesn't support the C++ 2011 standard. But I'm confused: If you're doing a basic C++ Hello World program, why is Code::Blocks trying to include Qt?

                    I suggest you leave Qt out for now. Just focus on learning plain C++. This way, it doesn't matter if you have an old compiler.

                        It looks like you have progressed! It seems to be successfully rubnning your gcc compiler.

                        You should open up your Sources folder in the left-hand pane so that we can see what file(s) you have. And perhaps open your main/only .cpp source file into the right-hand pane so that we can see that too.

                        The error message indicates that some .cpp source file has an "odd" character in it, on line #9. The sort of stray character that perhaps got in there from a mis-typing.

                          The error message is "stray '\240' in program". This means your .cpp file contains a character that the compiler does not accept.

                          '\240' is a specially-formatted character that represents a space. It can appear when someone copies code from a website or a program like Microsoft Word, and then pastes it into their IDE.

                          Your compiler says that the error is in line 9. I suggest you completely erase lines 8 to 10 to get rid of the '\240' character, and then re-type those lines by hand.

                              Now when I compile a project, with regular C++ code, here's what I got in return.

                              The error message is "stray '\240' in program". This means your .cpp file contains a character that the compiler does not accept.

                              '\240' is a specially-formatted character that represents a space. It can appear when someone copies code from a website or a program like Microsoft Word, and then pastes it into their IDE.

                              Your compiler says that the error is in line 9. I suggest you completely erase lines 8 to 10 to get rid of the '\240' character, and then re-type those lines by hand.

                              What's the \240 character? I'm confused on that one!

                              As I mentioned before, it is a specially-formatted character that represents a space.

                              There are many ways to represent text: Sighted people draw lines to represent a character, Braille users arrange dot patterns to represent a character, while computers use a number to represent a character. For example, computers represent 'A' as the number 65, 'B' as the number 66, and so on.

                              In computers, there are multiple ways to represent a space. \240 is one such representation. Unfortunately, this representation causes problems for your compiler when it is pasted into your IDE.

                              Since it is a space character, I doubt that your screenreader will read it out. Sighted people can't see the bad character on the screen either.

                              The easiest thing to do is to erase the offending line from your code and re-type the whole line by hand.

                                      She is using a screen reader so I think its easier for her to use the same thread.
