I am trying to learn Xcode with C as a start to learning to program. So far I have not gotten Xcode to successfully build and run a program using C on Mac OS. Any recommendations on basic troubleshooting for Xcode setup and orientation. Every program I try to run says "Build failed".

No luck with my first post in getting a response despite 24 views. Will try again. I am trying to build/run this main() function in C language. Keep getting build fail message. #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> int main() { float a,b; printf("Enter value for A: "); scanf("%f" ,&a); printf("Enter value for B: "); scanf("%f" ,&b); printf("%f + %f = %f\n",a,b,a+b); printf("%f - %f = %f\n",a,b,a-b); printf("%f * %f = %f\n",a,b,a*b); printf("%f / %f = %f\n",a,b,a/b); printf("%f to the power of %f = %f\n",a,b,pow(a,b)); printf("The square root of %f is %f\n",a,sqrt(a)); printf("The square root of %f is %f\n",a,sqrt(b)); return(0); } ANY feedback appreciated on why Xcode does not work here. I am a beginning programmer. Thanks.

I am self-learning basic C programming and have installed Xcode v. 14.2 on MacOS Monterey v. 12.7.5. I cannot get any programs I write under a new project I created to build and run on Xcode. Here is an example of what I am trying to build and run: #include <stdio.h> int main() { char test_string[] = "new string text"; printf("This process will %s\n",test_string); return(0); } Any guidance or feedback would be appreciated.
