Steps to Set Up C/C++ Development in VS Code
1. Install the Compiler (MinGW-w64)

PATH environment variable:
1. Open System Properties -+ Advanced Environment Variables.
2. Under System Variables, find Path , and click Edit.
3. Add the path to the bin folder (e.g., ).

4.Verify the Compiler Installation
Open a terminal (e.g., Command Prompt or PowerShell).
Run the following command to confirm the compiler is
correctly installed: "g++ --version"

If the installation is successful, it will display the GCC version.
