Tried debugging? also "doesn't work" does not explain what exactly doesn't work, add a flow with error to the post smh

Yes the biggest skill you can learn is how to debug and how to use whatever debugger you have available. It’s immensely helpful for work. And once you know you can pass those skills on to your AI companion so its work can be more robust.

Use fgets it’s safer

Scanf leaves a new line character so when you do scanf or fgets after a previous scanf you only get that new line character. I recommend you use fgets instead as it is safer

If you can't figure out basic computer stuff such as filenames by yourself, it's going to be a very hard degree.

Could you please provide an MRE (minimal reproducible example) using scanf() that demonstrates the problem?

Also, please provide the actual output and the expected output. Please use text rather than a picture.

TBH, "scanf() doesn't work" isn't enough to help you.

You compiles hello.c but the executable is named a.exe. So when you tried to run hello.exe it told you it cannot find it.
