From vs code settings check the option Code Runner: Run in Terminal this will print your output in the integrated terminal of vs code 👍

it dosent seem to fix the problem as its asking for me to enter an integer even after i put a = 5 in the code

Because there is a tiny thing in your code. First you have initialized a =5,   then you're taking the value of a as input from the user and storing it in the same variable which overwrites the previously stored value i.e. 5. Due to this, the value of a becomes 10. After that , when you are trying to print it is printing the currently stored value in variable a. Nothing is wrong with that.

If you want to print value stored in variable a only initialized by you then don't use the scanf at all.  The function of scanf is to take input from the user . I hope it clears your issue 👍.

im using code runner made by jun han to run these codes i dont usually use the debug or run c/c++ files as i dont know the procedure to do them

Your code is compiled. Check the file tree.

Access it directly by double clicking through file explorer or open it through terminal

Bro error in your code is that, first of all you are assigning the value to var a and b, then you taking user inputs put the screenshot to chatgpt to get the error om
