How can I run my cpp program in VS Code?

I've installed VS Code and also Mingw. I installed some extensions for C++ on VS Code too. But no matter what I do, my code will not run😬😬😬 Please help me

Ehsan what error is it showing you? Since you are already able to work with python, you might have to set up a particular folder for Cpp especially the launch.json and the task.json. That's after you've set a bin folder in MinGW to path.

Hi When I typed these two commands (echo %TEMP% and echo %TMP%) the result of them were exactly the same.

if you want to work with gcc sooner or later you need to learn how to write makefile. I find it difficult to use vs code for c/c++ development. I think you need to have a tasks.json to run cpp on vs code. CodeBlocks could be a better alternative.

Hi I know that Code::Blocks can be a better alternative than VS Code, but I've already installed VS Code on my PC and I use it to compile Python, HTML, CSS, javascript. I want to compile and run my C++ code in VS Code, and I don't want to install another software to compile each language

Ehsan, have you been able to set up your VScode to compile C++ programs? If no, I can work you through the process. Or you can read up the process on VScode site, like I did. I can also help though.
