Problem with building/compiling with vscode

[worthy oyster]

for using Visual studio code

This is using C++, can i only build/compile with one cpp file in the folder? For some reason when i had two cpp files, it would not build the cpp file "sqaure.cpp" into an exe, when i also had "test.cpp"
Both files had main functions so they are separate programs....

You have to tell VSC that you want 2 different programs and which cpp files to compile into what.

If you don't say anything it defaults to compiling all cpp files into an executable which is the most common use-case, but you don't have that.

Your options are writing a launch.json or a CMakeLists.txt or makefile. I may have forgotten one.
