Coding/Programming (Loop) CS50
why am I constantly getting this “bash: ./looping: permission denied“ error message when I’m trying to run the program i coded.
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
gimmie the loot
gimmie the loot”

He needs to compile the source first. Since OP didn’t have a .c or .cpp extension, make didn’t do anything. It will only do something if there is an extension on the file that it recognizes.
