How do I Compile Just One C File in Visual Studio 2019?

Question

I don't have experience using Visual Studio. The university is conducting a C coding competition and forcing students to use Visual Studio. To practice I created 2 files: "to print helloworld", "finding smallest in the array". Visual studio builds ALL files and I want to create multiple files to save time and keep it ready to code but if I am working on one question and build it, all files get built. How to build one file? Please help.

You need to organize your code into Projects and Solutions. You use one Project per program you write and then group them in a Solution.

Se the docs here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/ide/solutions-and-projects-in-visual-studio?view=vs-2019
