Compiler does not recognize special character

[Fckx35056]

Hi, this is probably something that happens often with beginners.....

I have a code where I use:

#include <stdio.h>

After giving idf.py build, Ninja complains that it does not accept &lt; It obviously does not recognize the less-than sign. I use Notepad++ as my editor. Any suggestions how to solve this?

Thanks!

I don't remember using < > in include syntax.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually the issue is SOLVED. The &lt; was in my code instead of the required < .

The error was in the blogpost from which I copied the code.

Thanks
