Can't get output in Notepad++

I am new to learning programming. Ive set up MinGW and have added the plugin. I tried running this basic code

    #include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
  puts("Hello, world!");
  return 0;
}

but it doesnt seem to return anything. This is what the console log shows

cc -o hello.exe hello.c
gcc -o hello.exe hello.c
Process started (PID=14948) >>>
<<< Process finished (PID=14948). (Exit code 0)

What am i doing wrong?

Your code does not return anything because C is a compiled language, you just compiled it, for it to return something you need to run it.

To run it open the folder where you compiled it and 2 clicks on the file hello.exe
