fatal error in C - no such file or directory

Question

I am working through the CS50 course and downloaded the cs50.h file into the same directory as my cs50.c file.

However, I am receiving a fatal error cs50.h: No such file or directory when i include the cs50.h header in my program

#include <cs50.h>

Any suggestions, please? I'm using Code::Blocks 20.03

Cheers

Thanks, I've tried that. Irritatingly, I keep getting the same error message. I have no idea why though as the header file is in the same directory as the .c file... — john_joseph, Sep 14 '21 at 11:53

if it's not from an official lib you can't use <> you need to use "". But it's not a fatal error it doesn't really matter.
if it's in another directory you need to specify the path like so include "/file/anotherFile/cs50.h".
if it's your current directory you can write it like that it might fix the problem "./cs50.h"

hope it helped you !

if you can try the gcc compiler it's more reliable – Tsirsuna Sep 16 '21 at 06:19
