Haa they solved the biggest problem of all time.

Thanks for coming up with this 🎉

Ok, it would be nice to get a walkthrough on how to include a 3rd party library and create a project of multiple cpp files.

[ziadwael]

it solved me alot of things, really really thank you❤

Why does everyone at microsoft do vscode videos on a mac?

[prasenjitgiri]

i have enjoyed the pace at which you speak. I will try to incorporate that in work life.

Quick setup fr C++, up and running, Nice ❤

Mam please solve the problem of visual studio code when I am pressing and it says every time that n, n is not a command

[sonnichjensen]

Why is the text fuzzy?
I do not get the place to set configuration in my version of VS Studio?
What is the speed key for toggling breakpoints?

[charlessam]

Can you do one for vs code on windows please 🙏

[TheUIArchitect]

What's the best course to start learning again C++?

[Rich_YTS]

i dont have the option to install a compiler. only gcc and g++

I'm running on Mac, everything is fine except one really annoying issue. Every time, I debug/run any cpp file, the mac's privacy and security window pops up and I have to press allow every single time. For example, I have a C++codes folder in my Documents folder and I have sample.cpp in this C++codes folder (along with all the required json files). Every time I debug/run the sample.cpp from VScode app, it pops a message that "sample would like to access files in your Documents folder". I get 2 options - Allow and Don't allow. This message does not come if I compile from terminal though, but I prefer to compile/run from VScode app; that was the whole purpose of installing it. I can also build on VS code and then run on in-built terminal without any permissions message, so I guess it's an issue arising from running debugger perhaps?

Please make an amazing playlist on c++

It just installs multiple apps and downloading 1.5 gig just for a single compiler

When I try to do the 'open walkthrough' part, VS doesn't seem to have this on W11?

[Netryon]

Can't use special symbols here so it's my only option I wonder why if it's not some web input form. I could say it's is same getting started problem as Docker, which is now in every career requirement and all I want is to run it alone not with a team. This is cruel - half of students won't pass exam and this is a language for games, but don't need it if there is no game jam game/example made with blueprints. There is some tools css javascript processors you only heard about it and need it more than Opengl and Vulcan 3:06. So I think where do I find a terrain and where would I add it's tiled texture and here it's in some hidden terrain paint settings with normal maps which I know everything about. This was new and introduced with latest frameworks 4:07, but learning that again as project specific settings which is only learned by practicing it - I don't what to spend a day figuring out what that line of code does or why that version don't compile.

Nice! Now let's code for dummies I have zero expectations

[Alberto_Cavalcante]

Can I follow the same steps for Windows?

[juanmacias]

The Code Runner extension compiles with g++ (at least in Linux), and runs C++ without any setup. xD

[deliciousfood]

that Didn't work with me! is there no one extension that do all the work to run & compile codes!!!
