When I try to compile a simple program it doesn't work and says: No such file or directory. I followed other instructions about which settings to change to stop the program from crashing which worked and I have Xcode downloaded. But the terminal won't run the program. And when I try to quit the application stops responding and I have to force quit. Help.

Intel Core i5 can run Microsoft Windows as a guest in Parallels or otherwise, or via Boot Camp. Slowly. I’d want 16 GB memory and more would be preferable for a hypervisor and development.
Or somewhat less resource-intensive… Install Boot Camp.

Acquire and install Microsoft Windows.
Microsoft has available 90-day test images.

Windows hosting and Linux hosting is widely available.

AWS has a free tier available for a year:
(Do be careful to shut down your hosted guests, just as soon as you’re done.)
A computer science class using Code::Blocks? For what seems an intro course (and C, C++, and Fortran are all odd choices for an intro course), I’d tend to expect the instructor provide a pre-built guest image (prolly Linux) and the steps to install and use same. Saves on the arriving questions for the instructor. This seems a “toss’m into the deep end” class. But then I’ve been out of school for a while. Ah, well.

This does not look promising, as app download descriptions go:

If you have an Intel processor Mac, then Windows or Linux will work as a hypervisor guest. If you have an Apple silicon Mac with the M1 processor then your choices are more limited, and you’ll be on an early version of Linux either booted native or running as a guest, or a beta or prototype version of Windows available to only to Windows insiders.
It’s also possible to boot and run and remotely access Windows or Linux hosted on a cloud service.
If you’re willing to dig into it yourself, and are ro be using and learning C or C++, using Xcode and also using the command line tools can work for learning C or C++ programming. For Fortran, not so much.
I have 1.4 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5 and Monterey. I need to use Code Blocks for my class. Xcode is downloaded on my computer. But I heard the Windows online is only for businesses. If Parallels will work with my computer do I need to do anything else? Thanks for your help.
I do have 16GB RAM. I"ll check out those links. The instructor didn't provide anything accept "look up on YouTube" for how to install Code Blocks on a Mac. I think maybe they don't like Mac. And yes it feels like 'in the deep end'. Thanks for all the advice.
I think you need to take this up with the Code Blocks folks.
Did Code::Blocks not end Mac support several years ago? Why not use Apple's Command Line Tools for Xcode if developing command-line tools, or Xcode for those projects involving visual interfaces?

That is a rather anemic processor to be running a virtual machine and guest on Monterey. Practically speaking, you would need a minimum of 16 GB RAM to run a Windows VM on macOS Monterey.
