Why does my C code run in terminal but not in VS Code using Code Runner?

Question

During a class we started learning C, all of the tasks that I was given I managed to do expect when the scanf tasks came, after I couldn't make it work, I copied the code from the professor and I still couldn't make it work. I am using vs code, code runner extension and gcc on ubuntu linux.

Here is the code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int main()
 {
    int a, b;
    scanf("%d", &a);
    scanf("%d", &b);
    printf("Zbir je %d\n", a+b);
    return 0;
}

Here is the output, it does not stop untill I press the stop button: Output

Your code is fine. Try to run it from a terminal. The problem is within the way the code is run by vscode. — Jabberwocky, Dec 09 '21 at 17:25
Please don't use pictures of text! You can't copy'n'paste it to try it out. As a new user here, take the [tour] and read [ask]. — Ulrich Eckhardt, Dec 09 '21 at 17:27
@Jabberwocky It works from the terminal so yes the problem must be with vs code, but I would really like to keep using it and make it work. — Vukašin, Dec 09 '21 at 17:37

The code looks fine. You might want to change a setting in vs-code to run code in an integrated terminal. Go to File ->Preference -> Settings. Add the following code:

{
    "code-runner.runInTerminal": true
}

I tried running it in my machine and it ran correctly.

I can tell from the picture that you are using vscode and running it with an extension. The problem must be there

But the code is useless, its the same as the post. I did it to show him that I copy and pasted it without changing anything – Santiago Wirzt Dec 09 '21 at 17:30
I tried it out and the code works for me too using terminal and the gcc commands. But in vs code it does not. – Vukašin Dec 09 '21 at 17:32
What extension are you using to compile in vscode? – Santiago Wirzt Dec 09 '21 at 17:36
I am using Code Runner, while trying to solve the problem I installed Microsofts C/C++ extension but it didnt change anything. – Vukašin Dec 09 '21 at 17:39
