Solve the problem that the Competitive plug-in in VScode cannot use C++11

Introduction

VScode is a powerful code editor that provides developers with great convenience through a rich plug-in system. Among them, the Competitive Programming Helper (CPH) plug-in is specially designed for competitive programming to improve the efficiency of writing and testing code. This article will describe how to solve problems related to C++11 standard support encountered when using this plug-in.

Why choose CPH plugin

1. Efficiency improvements: The CPH plug-in provides a fast and intuitive environment for competition programming, helping to increase the efficiency of writing and testing code.
2. Code Testing: This plugin allows users to easily test how their code responds to multiple input cases, which is critical to ensuring code correctness.
3. User-friendly interface: Provides a clear interface so that users can focus on solving problems rather than environment configuration
4. Customizability: Users can adjust settings to personal preferences and needs to better suit their programming style.
5. Integrated development environment advantages: As part of VSCode, the CPH plug-in is seamlessly integrated with other VSCode functions and plug-ins, providing a comprehensive development environment.

Problems encountered

When using the CPH plug-in, you may encounter the problem that the compiler only supports the C++98 standard. This means that some modern C++ features, such as range-based loops (e.g. ), will not work. This is because the plugin is not set up to use C++11 or higher standards by default. forfor (auto& i : a) {...}

solution

Fortunately, fixing this problem is relatively simple. Here are the detailed steps:

1. Open settings: Click the gear icon in the left toolbar or use the shortcut keyCtrl + , to open VScode settings.

2. Find the CPH plug-in settings: Find the extension option in the settings and select the CPH plug-in.

   

3. Modify compiler parameters: Find the compiler parameter setting item in CPH settings.
   

4. Add C++11 standard: Add-std=c++11 in the parameter settings, and then save the settings.

   

5. Verify settings: Rerun the code to confirm that errors regarding C++11 features no longer occur.

   

Through the above steps, you can enjoy all the features of C++11 and above when using the CPH plug-in in VScode, and seamlessly practice and improve competition programming.
