Can someone help me? I just followed the steps to install c++, but I still can't run it.

Idk how to launch "launch.json" as well, anything i put inside the bar it doesn't do anything.

suggested you were already using a tasks.json
How do you compile precisely?

@hidden nebulawhat do you mean?

#

how do i compile precisely?

hidden nebula Dec 24, 2023, 4:35 PM

#

The tasks.json would be located in the folder .vscode btw

#

Well yes, what did you do precisely to obtain this?

tepid topaz Dec 24, 2023, 4:36 PM

#

hidden nebula The *tasks.json* would be located in the folder **.vscode** btw

is this folder created when i create this .cpp file or is this folder from vscode itself

Follow these steps: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/cpp/config-mingw

Should be in the same directory as the directory in which you opened vsc

tepid topaz Dec 24, 2023, 4:37 PM

#

hidden nebula Well yes, what did you do precisely to obtain this?

I create a new text file from file, select a language, i choose c++, i control save it in a file, i put in the codes, i run it by pressing the play button at the top right

#

hidden nebula In the file *tasks.json*, replace `gcc` by `g++` in the `command`.

@hidden nebulawow

#

it worked

#

thank you

#

so much

#

but can you explain why this happened

#

did i somehow messes up somewhere that cause this to happen?

hidden nebula Dec 24, 2023, 4:46 PM

#

Well gcc specifically compiles C and doesn't link C++ stuff.

hidden nebula Well gcc specifically compiles C and doesn't link C++ stuff.

i was following a youtube tutorial, no one seems to have this problem in the comments though

hidden nebula Dec 24, 2023, 4:49 PM

#

You can "first" then 😄

tepid topaz Dec 24, 2023, 4:51 PM

#

hidden nebula You can "first" then 😄

:<

#

@hidden nebula i think i figure out why

#

#

was blindly following the tutorial, in the tutorial g++ is the first one

#

but for me gcc is the first one

#

so i clicked on gcc

#

thank you so much for your help though

hidden nebula Dec 24, 2023, 4:52 PM
