Learning C++: VSCode configures C++ development environment

foreword

Compared with Visual Studio, VSCode is more lightweight and can be used across platforms. When testing some small algorithms, VSCodethe combination C/C++Extensionis very small, so this article mainly summarizes how to configure the C++ development environment on VSCode.

There is no difference between the C++ development environment configuration and the Python environment configuration, and both follow the following rules:

1. install interpreter
2. install plugin
3. Configure the interpreter address in the plugin

The installation details are detailed below.
