My recommendation You are on Windows right? So you can just install Visual Studio IDE ( follow this tutorial [LINK] ). Which is better than vs code. This tutorial is for C++ but it works for C as well. Because C++ uses the same compiler as C but with some more things(simple explanation). The solution for your problem You are getting the massage 'gcc' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file because you do not have the gcc compiler installed on your computer. But if you want to install it, you can follow this tutorial [this video] . But I highly recommend you use Visual Studio IDE which I mentioned above.
