(I assume you're learning C++, about to start learning, or just reading this for fun.

In this article, I'll show you how to set up your compiler in VsCode and give you some links to some of the best C++ resources. I then set out to find a way of compiling C++ directly inside my own VsCode Editor, hence this article :). But I was already used to Visual Studio Code for all my programming stuff. As usual, everyone was using the CodeBlocks IDE and Visual Studio IDE. I actually wrote this article because I had a C++ assignment which required using a compiler. A compiler is a special program that processes statements written in a particular programming language like C++ and turns them into machine language or "code" that a computer's processor uses. This is used to compile and run C++ code. One of C++'s main features is the compiler. It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979. In simple terms, C++ is a sophisticated, efficient, general-purpose programming language based on C. C++ is a statically-typed, free-form, (usually) compiled, multi-paradigm, intermediate-level general-purpose middle-level programming language.
