How to install C/C++ in Visual Studio Code
Visual Studio Code is a free source-code editor made by Microsoft for Windows, Linux and macOS. Features include support for debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, and embedded Git.
It currently supports hundreds of programming languages and file formats.
