Assistance needed-- I can't figure out how to start

Hi, in the past I've always used VSCode while programming, and I want to set up C++ on VSCode also. I've watched many youtube videos on how to do so, but many of them are very confusing. Can someone please give me a set of simple instructions on how to set up C++ on VSCode? Sorry if this is very basic-- it's my first time with this programming language.

Thank you!

Buy a lottery ticket.

Seriously, you're asking a lot on your first post for us to magically guess the one video you haven't watched already to suddenly transform your understanding.

My guess is your first problem is despite the name being similar to "Visual Studio", you don't actually have a C++ compiler installed on your system.

VSCode is just a glossy editor.
