if you are on windows, I'd recommend using Visual Studio (not Visual Studio Code) or CLion
and then things should work pretty much out of the box

#include <iostream>
int main(){std::cout <<"42";}
^, but if you want to continue using vscode for some reason you should show us the error so that we can help

very confusing naming from microsoft

frozen plinth
oo i have seen these both
but
the problem i was having while downloading the first
like
when i download the community version
i didnt have options like cpp and others which i saw in a 31 hr video for cpp
haughty sand
this should explain how to install it (haven't entirely read it myself but it seems promising)
haughty sand
you should check the "Desktop Development with C++" box
iirc there's also the option to install clang on the right hand side under optional components, I'd check that as well
frozen plinth
so like last doubt so like in future i want to connect this like with unity or other stuff for which i have option right now should i do it now or i can do that later?
frozen plinth
okayy
