I recently installed vs code and node because I am learning javascript.

the thing is my vs code **does not show the output for any of my codes.

i have tried everything! first I tried running it with just ctrl alt N but nothing happened. then I installed code runner and here is the problem, every time i run a simple code as console.log("hello world!); it shows that its running and that the running is done but no output whatsoever and it shows this

and I've tried going into settings and giving a check to the option " code runner run in terminal" as I found on the internet that usually solved the problem but I got the same result. here is what it shows with a run in terminal

and even using PowerShell by writing node helloworld.js nothing happens.

here is the powershell

it only works when I run and debug which brings me to the last thing.

the only way I got this thing to run properly was by pressing f5 and running it by "run and debug" but I don't want to do that every time I need to run my codes bc I'm really at the beginning of learning and I run a lot of stupid little codes(i don't even know what debug means) and yes I know I can make it automatic by downloading some extensions but I really just wanted code runner to work.

    The dot in the editor tab handle means you have unsaved changes. Save the file and then try again? – starball Feb 18 '23 at 02:58
  • I'm not sure I follow your question. vscode only shows the code. Unless you are using some vscode extension to render the code in some way - be it a html viewer, terminal etc.. – Steve Tomlin Feb 20 '23 at 10:33
