Visual Studio Code, c/c++ extension

Question

I am a beginner in VS Code. I already installed C/C++ and Code Runner extensions. Also I have copied the C:\msys64\mingw64\bin to Environment variables.

Here's the context when I try to run this code in Visual Studio Code:

#include<stdio.h>

int main (){
    int age;
    printf("Enter age\n");
    scanf("%d",&age);
    printf("age is %d",age);
    return 0;
}

-It shows:

C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/12.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:test: file format not recognized; treating as linker script C:/msys64/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/12.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe:test:3: syntax error collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Is there anyone here can help me fix this? Thank You in Advance.

How do you build? What plugin are you using to build your program? When you try to build and run, please copy-paste the *full* and *complete* outputs into your question. — Some programmer dude, Dec 07 '22 at 09:40
You sure your file name has proper extension such as .c or .cpp? Make it `test.cpp` or `test.c`. `ld.exe:test: file format not recognized` suggests it has no file name extensions. — Jishan Shaikh, Dec 07 '22 at 09:42
