title: "launch:program does not exist" in VS Code
body: <p>I'm about to start learning C and chose VS Code with GCC as my compiler. I added a hello world program to test it out and I get the following popup:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/P7GST.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/P7GST.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>I have zero experience with any of this so I would greatly appreciate the help. I followed the Open launch.json option and did not understand how that was relevant to my problem. It gave me the following:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{

  "configurations": [
      {

          "type": "cppvsdbg",
          "request": "launch",
          "program": "enter program name, for example ${workspaceFolder}/a.exe",
          "args": [],
          "stopAtEntry": false,
          "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
          "environment": [],
          "externalConsole": false
      }
  ]
  </code></pre>

  <p>I have no clue what to do. I tried looking through StackOverflow for similar problems and have had no success.</p>
