Specifically, I'm trying to run

# 
#include <iostream>
#

And is getting this error:

#

`#include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit (/Users/name/Documents/Skolearbeid/VScode Personal Projects/Random/c++/Swap.cpp).C/C++(1696)

cannot open source file "wchar.h" (dependency of "iostream")C/C++(1696)`

#

I've tried googling it but I can't get it to work

#

Did you place the #include "wchar.h" in the your .cpp file ?

I've tried the quick fixes as well, none of them work

native sable
#

Place your header file under iostream

#

As like #include <iostream>
#include "wchar.h"

#

I'm completely new to C++, coming from Java and Python. So I'm a bit slow.

#

Tried it, but same issue

native sable
#

Do u make a header file first ?

Im not working in macOS so Im not sure if it lost some file, but I found that some ppl have same problem with using macOS

No

I downloaded an extension on VS Code that was said to support it

#

Why would there be an extension available if it doesn't work?

sly ferry
#

It works, you just need to tell vscode where in your system to find iostream

#

do you have a compiler installed?

#

I dont really know anything bout mac

#

I know its a pain to install g++ in windows compared to linux

#

I'd imagine Mac is about the same as windows

sweet arch
#

mac isn't even close to windows

#

mac is a certified UNIX, so that means it's largely POSIX compliant

#

Windows is zero posix compliant

#

ignoring the abandoned attempt by MS to bring posix to windows

#

generally you should also install the XCode command line tools, likely should also install homebrew. homebrew requires that you install the XCode command line tools
