How to show console output (print,etc.) in Visual Studio in C code
How to show console output (print,etc.) in Visual Studio in C code
I am trying to simply do a print statement and get output in the console in Visual Studio C/C++ project. I'm coming from a background using PyCharm Py3 where you simply get all your output in the console by default, however, when I run some code in Visual Studio, the whole debugger thing goes crazy.
How do I get output in the console? Thanks.
printf
Again, how would I then "see" stdout? In Python you can with ease debug programs with print statements to see the flow of your program and just for fun. How would I do this in Visual Studio with C?

"How to do":
printf for C and cout for C++. Read above for why those methods, which write to stdout normally, "might not be working" and how to improve the question's clarity.– user2864740

printf
cout
Search for what you're looking for: "visual c++ debugger stdout"

Trust me, all those links are purple lol. Crazy how such a simple thing isn't implemented.

printfwill will write to stdout, which is often "the console": for this case to be useful, the running process needs to be 'attached to a console'. Please expand on "run some code" (eg. how code is being run) and "debugger thing goes crazy" (eg. what the actual observed result is).– user2864740
