Help With Visual Studio Code... by Saucekiddo99(m): 12:32am On May 03, 2021 |
For a while now, I have been learning to code on my mobile phone, and I have made noticeable progress in Web dev and a few programming Languages. My problem had always been the need to have separate apps for each language. That was when I decided to move my base to my PC(I used it mainly for minor graphics editing and games). I installed the widely recommended Visual Studio Code, but I couldn't understand jack from the layout. My code wouldn't even compile talk-less of run. After exploring the app, I found the extensions section and I quickly downloaded extensions on the languages I will be working with, but still, I didn't see the differences they made. I will really appreciate help on setting my workspace up. Thank you in advance. |

First you need to understand that visual studio code freshly installed is a little more than a text editor,like the notepad you have on windows. Of course an editor cannot compile codes. You need to download the compiler for any language you wish to develop on your editor. Now before you talk about the vs code extensions you downloaded. Those extensions aren’t compilers; they simply help you format your codes. They are equipped with the full library of their target language ; therefore they have functions like auto-complete, code correction, error highlighting , code coloring, correct document formatting etc. I hope you’ve also installed the code runner extension? To wrap up ,any language you wish to compile and execute on your system, has to have its compiler installed on your computer. You can look up how to go about this for any programming language. This part however has nothing to do with visual studio code. |

Thank you everybody that contributed. I googled and got compliers for the languages and how to install them. So Everything is all set now. Though I have to confess, those IDE's on mobile phones with their built-in compilers were more cool. |
