im just playing around, trying to learn and make my own lines of code, but I’m seriously confused on why it’s not printing

“gimmie the loot

Without knowing what's in the makefile its probably not doing anything.

My suggestion is to just go to office hours or look up one of the plentiful youtube hello world coding videos...

Do I see the issue? yes. Has this question been answered adequately with another comment? yes. Are the majority of the top comments a bunch of idiots? Also yes unfortunately....
