How to create a C language project with vscode

1. Download the plug-in C/C, C Intellisense;

2. Create a new empty folder and open it from VSCode. (or File-->Open Folder-->Create an empty folder);

3. Press F5 (use the command line gcc, g; or write a makefile, make;), select C ( GDB/LLDB), generate launch.json (for debugging);

4. Modify launch.json, change

"program": "enter program name, for example ${workspaceFolder}/a.out"

to

"program": "${workspaceFolder}/ProjectName";"externalConsole": true

to indicate that the output will pop up command line. If changed to false, it will be output in the terminal inside VSCode.

5. Ctrl Shift B, select tasks.json-->Template--->other, generate tasks.json (create tasks);

6. Modify tasks .json,

"command": "echo Hello"

is changed to

"command": "g++ -o ProjectName ProjectName.cpp"

The ProjectName here has the same name as the ProjectName in 5

7. For complex projects, "command": "echo Hello" changed to "command": "make"

8. Create the makefile again and edit it;

9. Write the Hello.cpp file

10. Press Ctrl Shift P, select Task:Run Tasks, execute task

11. Press F5, execute

The source code is as follows:

Hello.cpp

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
    cout << "Hello, world!" << endl;
    return 0;
}

            "type": "shell",
            "command": "make"
        }
    ]
}
