Help Setting Up VSCode (Step By Step)
Could someone help me with setting up VSCode to compile and run C/C++? I have installed the cpptools. I know I need to install a compiler next either clang or VS one. But which one am not sure? I was thinking clang for cross platform?
I also know I need to make a task jason file? The instructions seem vague to me.
I could go full VS IDE I know but I don't want to get bogged down in leaning an IDE at the same time as C.

Hello ZennMystic,
Welcome to the forum.
I am not familiar with VSCode, so I am not much help there, although I would suggest if your OK with Microsoft install the full VS 2015 Express. The interactive IDE has many advantages over a compiler and linker. It did not take me that long to get use to it and over the months since February I did learn a few tricks and ways to make repetitive tasks easier.
