OpenGL GLFW + GLAD Program not drawing triangle - c++

Question

I am trying to draw a triangle with GLFW and Glad. But the screen won't display anything (I can only clear the screen).
I am able to Open a Window, and clear the screen to a dark blue color (or any other color)
But I cannot draw a triangle on the Screen, and I do not know why.
I thought maybe my GPU didn't have a default shader.

Answer 1

This here definitively is wrong.
glDisableVertexAttribArray(0);
You meant glEnableVertexAttribArray here, so that the attibute pointer you are setting up is actually used. For disabled attribute arrays, all shader invocations will get a constant value.
Also your shaders use #version 330 and actually require GLSL 330 syntax, however:
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MAJOR, 2);
glfwWindowHint(GLFW_CONTEXT_VERSION_MINOR, 0);
you request only a GL 2.0 context and GL 2.0 only mandates support for GLSL 1.10. If this is going to work will be completely up to your driver, you might get some >= 3.3 compatibility profile, but you can't count on it.
You should create a 3.3 context explicitly, and also explicitly request a core profile.
