Visual Studio Code is the widely used editor in Computer Programming field.
It is the best editor for a beginner in programming because it is simple, easy to set up and has all those features needed.
First you need to Download and Install C C++ toolset ( Compiler , linker etc ) like mingw-w64. After that you need to install Visual Studio Code.

Tip: If you're using PowerShell as your default terminal (which is mostly the case for newer windows versions unless you have manually tweaked some settings) and are getting an error message after configuring Build and Run task, just set cmd as the default terminal or at 14:33 , replace the '&&' with a ';' as && is not recognized by powershell. BTW this is one of the best and most complete tutorials that you can find on VS Code setup.
thank you so much for this, as i was facing this problem. you are a life saver :)
I am so appreciate that you help me escape the nightmare!
Bro at which place?
You are a lifesaver! Thanks a lot!!!
@@sourabhsinghrawat9066 in the big line at 14:33 he uses && to connect "... .exe &&${fileDirname}..." instead of using && try using ; only, in case you're getting an error when running the code!
Thank you so much, before watching your video I spent 2 days reading here and there on how to debug. All articles are so full of bs! I was so frustrated, I downloaded Visual Studio Community but couldn't get it to work either. But you solved the problem in 20 mins! Thank you from bottom of my heart.
Congratulations folks you guys have earned a rocket 🚀 science degree
You are my hero. I have been trying to fix my vs code's .json error for a wile. I actually started using a different program because of it. I like vscode for python and wanted to be able to use c++ on it. but it was giving me .json errors. anyways you fixed it for me with this video. Thank you so much. I would give you a big hug if I could. God bless
My man, i was trying to fix this debugging and executing c program issue for like whole 1 day. I tried many things other youtubers told. all ended with more issues. I am new to programming, i dont know what i was doing. This video fixed all. Thanks. I subscribed
Glad I could help
Thank you for making this video, it helped me so much in setting up the c programming in visual studio code.
Pleasure
The most video that i have ever seen about vsc debugging , thanks!!
Glad it was helpful!
The best ever video for setup of vs code
I have ever seen
😘🔥🔥🔥
Much appreciated😊😊
Thank you
Thanks for these tutorials! Really helpful.
pleasure :)
Yo, this is some of the best programming tutorial I have seen ever. This guy knows his stuff. Thanks man.
Hello, do you get this "replace the '&&' with a ';' as && is not recognized by powershell" I tried it on my Vs Code and it's giving an error. Pleaase help if you can
@@stephaniewanza8147 you are probably not using powershell as your default terminal. You should use the default code as it comes.
Man you always fix everything, thank you so much!
Happy to help!
If you're getting a gdb error, run sudo apt-get install gdb
Only video I've seen that explains what is needed and more. Thank you sir!

Thanks for every single reply and giving so much time 🙏😍
My pleasure 😊
Wow, u are amazing! You explain it very details. Thank you.

Prior to using VSC, I used CodeBlocks in my last programming class and compiling, running, and debugging seemed much simpler. I'm not going to lie, this has been pretty intimidating!
I am from turbo c c++ era... It was much simpler than these modern day craps... For the first time, am seeing a software from Microsoft which is not at all user friendly! Horrible
I have been folowing another tutorial on this subject (fortunately) and it is so much simpler. I cant think of a more complex way to get the same tasks done than this - ok if you choose to start digging for silicium to make your own chips maybe. I am a beginner and what I installed that did all what he is showing here ? For one an extension called coderunner. You only have to press a play botton.
1000%agree
so true...
ya but why im switching to VSC is in c::b i cant have more than one file in a project and cb doesn't compile the file which i'm working on and generates an error when there're more than one file with main() presented in a project
Great tutorials, thank you very much!
You're very welcome!
Thank you very much for the detailed information. You got a new suscriber :)
Awesome, thank you!
This tutorial was truly helpful
Glad you think so!
Hey Man, Really Awesome Video,
I seen lot of videos those all are really dumb,
your video is clearly working in my PC
Compiler Installation video also Really helpful to me,
Thank You So much for this Video...
You're welcome!
Thanks a lot, Sir!!! Keep going.
Most welcome!
Perfect! Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
I could not possibly explain how many likes I'd give this video if I could. This series has literally saved my life an untold number of times, and I would never have figured out any of this on my own. For that, I have to say THANK YOU.
most welcome :)
Thanks for the video it worked! 😀

Glad it was helpful!
Best tutorial ever! I was already desperate when I found it and it really helped me, huge thank you!
Also, maybe someone can help me with one issue, despite placing the " \" " (17:54), I still got problems with the spaces when parsing the paths, maybe someone knows what can it be?
very useful video
i learnd to much from this vido it was very educationa
Best tutorial! Thank you! Although the task configured to only build and run the file is not working
Than you soo much
By far the most informative tutorial for VSC
thank u sir nice explanation looking for this
Most welcome
when I tried to build an executable file,I got an error"gcc.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1': CreateProcess: No such file or directory'' can you explain?
Hi Imran. I had the same error too. Then I realised that you should name your file 'HelloWorld.C' without any spacing between the 'Hello' and 'World'. Worked for me and hope that it helps.
I tried but it still shows cc1.exe: fatal error(no such file or directory)
Thanks a lot bro

Thank you for the tutorial. Its really helpful. Can you please share the link of tutorial using the Code runner extension?
My debugger works, but a problem appears every time. It says "property console is not allowed" for the launch.json file. It doesn't seem to impact anything at the moment, but do you know what I can do to fix it?
Very helpfull!
thanks
Thank You
You're welcome
In launch.json file when i write
"externalConsole": true , it work fine with other console during debugging but as you did in the video when I put "externalConsole": false, terminal get stucked. It is not printing anything and also not allow to write anything for giving input. Could you help with this? In the video your terminal is working fine during debugging and i want the same.

Whenever I name my folder/file, I get the message " the name ..... is not valid"
can you help me, please?
Если вы не понимаете, что происходит в VSCode, или у вас просто какая-то ошибка, то лучше канала, пожалуй, не найти. Искал много русскоязычных объяснялок, только голову поломал. Тут всё кратко, и ясно.
nice tutorial
Thanks
while building like you did at 9:55 it is showing errors such as 'undefined reference to cin' and 'undefined reference to cout, help me what to do im doin the same for c++
If the code runner extension is installed is it still necessary to set up build task?
Thanks sir..

Hi
Go to
view -> command palette
Search for select default shell
Choose cmd.exe
Then also I have problem The token '&&' is not a valid statement separator in this version.
yes
thank you for posting :)
This fixed the "&&" problem within the task for me. Thank you!
Awesome! Your post helps me to fix "&&" problem. Thank you!
That's help a lot, thank you!
what if you have multiple .c files in src and the.h files in include folders, and a make file to build everything, I can now only run the code in terminal and cant debug it.
Thank you for all the hard work, but why would anyone want to go through this while they can just use a C/C++ IDE?
GOAT
Can u plz explain about CI continuous integration process for C and C++ programs, rite from src code merging to github and building and static code analysis wrt. quality and security stds, and building artifact out of it.
Still problem continues.
Not able to run debugger.
bro i love u

i have a question.Can we write in terminal gcc -o hello world hello world.c to compile and then ./hello world instead of the prosess you made?
Thanks for the help. I never did get the “run this C program” to work though. Several errors such as && not allowed in this version, I was running power shell then tried bash. I need to have “./“ before the name when I run an executable. I’m sure I will get it figured out with more experience so I saved the work.
me too the error is "The token '&&' is not a valid statement separator in this version"
did you find a solution?
@@itsTarik hello.. did you get to know what to use instead of &&

Hi, I have one question about setting up build task and run program. Everytime I tried to type run exe file, it jumps out cmd and type this sentence in cmd "Enter your age: " I just type a number and it closed then it shows this sentence in the terminal in Visual Studio code "Enter your age: " and I type the same number it print out what it is in our program. Do you know why? If there is a problem?
@learninglad I am not able to debug since the build task is failing due to some errors however have followed your steps clearly also have installed everything watching your videos please help me out
Hi, Thanks for this useful video. when I tried to build an executable file(same program in try C language), I got an error"gcc.exe: fatal error: cannot execute 'cc1': CreateProcess: No such file or directory'' can you explain plz...
I am getting an error that File exited id="1", during RUN AND DEBUG step, please help
I don't have a launch file like shown in the video. Actually after pressing Run and Debug button İt automatically debugged the file without configuration.
Do I need a launch.json file that badly?
Hey Mr. Anil, can you plz say which recorder do you use and which software for editing these videos, plz reply 🙏🙏
Thank you very much for your tutorials! My only issue is when I try to run and debug after selecting C++ (GDB/LLDB) I doesn't give the tasks to choose from, instead I get an empty launch.json with no configurations on it. Do you have any solution for this? Thank you.
Have you installed c c++ extension?
Had to manually write and edit the json. Had the same issue. But @LearningLad did a very nice tutorial here! Kudos from me for starting point.
@@VorT6 hey bro can you pl tell the hole thing which you have typped in json
delete the whole launch.json file, and a new one will be generated when u do what he says

RESOLVED - Error accessing correct directory & file
Had the same error as others within the comments of not being able to access the Hello World terminal.
cd stands for: Change Directory
Used it as though I was clicking through my files. My error is that I was copying Anil and just typing Hello World.
So, I was doing...C Programming -> Hello World
Instead, my files were structured and should have been accessed as C Programming -> Programs -> Hello World
My error was that I was using "cd Hello World" while my directory was still at the C Programming file. Make sure you are changing directories correctly- exactly as the directories are named.
Hope this helped!
sir am not able see C C++: gcc..exe in configure default task , i installed g++, gcc,gdb those are showing in cmd window with vesrion.... help me
Is it really necessary to execute the program via the terminal? I am referring to your older videos and according to that clip we can simply run the code and get the output.
No, it is not necessary.
Just wanted to show how to use the terminal to run the program ( for those who don't want to use the code runner extension).
I can't see the path in the default build tasks configuration. Can you help me??
when i try to debug my code i get this error "unable to find executable for "my work space location" and also when i click to run and debug, my vs code didn't show me the configuration option "gcc.exe - Build and debug..."
any solution?

I didn't understand anything after the simple program of age..
on debugging it is not taking input
when i go to select a build task the gcc.exe doesnt show up? this all started with me trying to fix an error or "Launch: Program does not exist. any help please??
After I started the debugger, it shows all those blue lines and some yellow lines, but in the terminal, it does not show "Enter your age". So, I am unable to enter any input. From this point onwards, nothing happens.

Bro I can't do auto save it opening settings.json please help me
getting error of preLunchTask"c/c++:gcc.exe build active file terminated with error" while clicking on run n debug
I followed your instructions by-the-book, but there is a problem that the program keeps saying "cannot open source file "stdio.h"C/C++(1696)".
When defining "Run this C Program" 13:30, you can do it by adding extra "args".
"type": "shell",
"label": "Run This C Program 2",
"command": "gcc",
"args": [
"-g",
"${file}", //${file} gives full path of the file
"-o",
"${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe", //output file name
"&&", //to join building and running of the file
"${fileDirname}\\${fileBasenameNoExtension}.exe"
I spent 4 hrs finding the error swaping from "&&" to ";" , trying to figure out to run task but it was consistently showing the same error. Thnx to you that I could now run the task.

What should I do if it's printing hello world instead of running the file
When debugging a c program using VS code software using terminal >make the file ,it is showing configure launch.json .how can I solve this problem??
i have i problem, everythings work, it compile and debug, BUT there is a huge problem, i can use breakpopints, so i know he is debugging, but doesn't run the program in the terminal, so i can't put things in the scanf(), so the debug crash when he see it, because has no value in input,
TY for everyone who will help me!
at 11:38 when i pressed enter ...instead of getting that enter the age message....i simply got = hello world.....what should i do now?
output depends on what program you are executing from the editor.
check which program you have in the editor :)
I had to use ./"hello world"
