[Error Solved] gcc is not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file / minGW not found

By- Yashvardhan Singh

Since many of you may face this issue here is a separate blog on it. This error is encountered when the system is not able to access GCC command as it is not mentioned in the environment variables which means that your system is simply not aware of that any such thing can be accessed or not from outside that directory (the bin folder).

Solution:

  1. Navigate inside your 'MinGW' folder and navigate to the 'bin' directory.
    bin folder path

  2. Copy this path and open Environment Variables (either search it in the windows start menu or find it in Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Setting). Click edit path (from the system variables tab) then in the new window click new.
  3. Now paste this copied path and click OK to save everything.

Done! That was it, now you may restart your code editor and continue writing and compiling your programs with ease.

Thanks for reading!

  👉 WHAT IS FUNCTION 👈 By - Dhruv Arne   Function – Function is a block of a code that is executed only when it is called in the code. In C++ if you want to make a function then the syntax is   Return_type   function_name ( parameter_datatype   parameters ( if  it have)) { Code Return  something; }   Here return type is the type of data which function is going to be returned. It is not mandatory that the function should have return something always, it is optional. But now you have a question in your mind that if we don’t return something then what we will write in the place of return_type when declaring a function?. I will tell you the answer you have to write void which means nothing. Void is a datatype in c++ that means nothing, so there is no example of a void data type because void means nothing. Now here in the syntax, I wrote a word parameter, so what does parameter mean?. Basically, parameters are a need of that functio...

👉  Basics Of OPERATORS IN C++  👈 -by Aaditya Nayak In this blog I am going to describe operators in C++ from scratch, their use ,applications, examples etc. This blog will be very useful for beginners and for experienced its always good to brush up your concepts. What is an operator?  • An Operator gives the instruction perform particular operation. Ex: A person which is operating a machine, keyboard of computer, mouse of computer etc.   • Mathematically operators are symbols which denotes particular operation to be performed on a expression or on some numbers. Ex: +, -, /, *, d/dx, ∑, ∏ etc.   • In programming an operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical functions. C++ language is rich in built-in operators and provides the following types of operators − Arithmetic Operators. Relational Operators. Logical Operators. Ex: &&, ||, &, | etc. Operators in C++ Basic meaning of operators in C++ are sam...

Reference and Pointers in C++

-
Image
  by - Yash Ukalkar |  Introduction -  Pointers and reference variables are often used when one needs to write programs that control and manage the memory available in the machine. Pointers work close to memory and allow us to implement data storage and processing in an efficient manner. For example, a linked list is a data structure that uses pointers and allows us to store and delete data, in a sequential manner, but faster than many other methods.
