Therefore, the purpose of this article is to help C++ programmers, like me, who want to use Visual Studio Code for C++ programming in Linux. It took me quite a lot of time to figure out how to configure Visual Studio Code to work with C++ in Linux. However, most of these documents are written for the general purpose of Visual Studio Code.

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight and cross-platform version of Visual Studio. Now I finally found one, Visual Studio Code, released by Microsoft.

I have used many IDEs and editors to write the code for many years such as Visual Studio, VIM, Eclipse, NetBeans, Notepad++.

As a software engineer, a great editor or IDE helps improve productivity.
