Answer 2

I think it’s a duplicate question.

Anyway, there are a good number of videos out there on YouTube which show how one could setup the VS Code for C/C++ development. You could just watch one of those.

Since, you’re using MINGW, I think Codeblocks could be a better choice to start your learning.

l find it troublesome to setup VS Code for C++, so I normally use Makefile for the build process. Or write the code in the editor and compile the program using a terminal. Personally, I’d suggest you to use Visual Studio itself, IMO it’s the best IDE for C/C++.

To solve your current “winmain” issue, you can pass “-mconsole” linker flag in your VS Code cpp settings (a json file, in the project directory). This may/may not work. Good luck!

Flash It works
Now the out put is-

[Running] cd "c:\Users\DELL\Desktop\hello world\" && g++ hello.cpp -o hello && "c:\Users\DELL\Desktop\hello world\"hello
hello world

[Done] exited with code=0 in 2.031 seconds
So is this what the output should be or .....
