Going from Solo to Visual Studio Code ** Please Advise **

Question

How do you run these projects ( ex. Countdown ) in Visual Studio Code?? In terminal I got an error about not being able to run 16 bit applications... honestly this is my second week learning C++ and don't really know HOW to ask the Questions I have... I have learned how to create a new project, write the source code, build the tasks.json & run the build ( using VScode ). ..

How do I run a simple input/output project to practice with outside of "Solo"????

Answer 1

Have you set up your VScode for C++ properly ?

If not then you do it by following this tutorial👇

Answer 2

Arsenic , yes... I have gone through the steps of getting the " Hello World " program to work. Thank you... but when I took code from one of the projects here, it seems not to work.

Answer 3

Mirielle , thank you... I am still new to all this and learning the difference between code editors, ide's and all that jazz. I have eclipse and VS downloaded but couldn't make any sense out of them. But now that I have run through the STEP BY STEP in VScode to get things working I need to revisit the others and see if I have better luck.
