Visual Studio Code (VS Code for short) is a lightweight but powerful source editor developed by Microsoft that supports multiple programming languages. Here's a detailed look at how to run in VS Code, including installing extensions, writing, running, and debugging.
1. Install Visual Studio Code
First, you need to install Visual Studio Code on the official website. The installation process is very simple, just follow the prompts step by step.
2. Install the extension.
The power of VS Code lies in its rich library of extensions, and users can install various extensions to enhance the functionality of the editor according to their needs. To run, it is usually necessary to install extensions related to the programming language used. For example, if you're writing python, you can install the python extensionIf you are writing j**a**, you can install the j**a extension. The way to install an extension is to open VS Code, click on the extension icon on the left, and search for and install the desired extension in the Extensions Marketplace.
3. Preparation**.
Once you've installed your extension, it's time to start writing. Create a new file in VS Code and enter **. VS Code supports syntax highlighting, auto-completion and other functions, which can greatly improve the coding efficiency.
Fourth, the operation**.
The way you run depends on the programming language and extensions you are using. In general, there are several ways:
Integrated Terminal: VS Code has a built-in integrated terminal, which can run commands directly in the terminal to execute**. For example, for python, you can enter it in the terminalpython file name. pyto run**.
Debugging: VS Code supports powerful debugging functions, such as setting breakpoints, stepping execution, etc. To debug, you first need to configure the debugger. The configuration method may be different for different programming languages. In general, you need to create one at the root of the project.vscodefolder, and then create one in that folderlaunch.jsonfile, and configure information about the debugger in that file. Once configured, you can use the debugging feature to run and debug**.
How extensions run: Some extensions provide their own way of working. For example, the python extension provides a command to "run a python file in the terminal console" and can run python directly in the editor.
5. Check the running results.
After running, you can view the results in the output window of VS Code or in the integrated terminal. If a print statement is included, the printed content is also displayed in the output window or in the integrated terminal.
6. Summary. Visual Studio Code is a very useful source editor that not only supports a wide range of programming languages, but also offers a wide range of features and extensions. It's easy to run and debug in VS Code by installing extensions, writing, configuring the debugger, and more. Of course, to get the most out of VS Code, you also need to be familiar with the programming language you use and the associated development toolchain.
