I just installed Visual Studio code, and the C/C++ extensions made by microsoft.com.
I was trying to run a script, but the following occurred:
-<algorithm>, <array>, <string>, <vector> were not recognized; according to general media, the following should be built-in variables.
-when selecting "Run and Debug", a window pops up saying "Variable ${workspaceFolder} can not be resolved. Please open a folder". I need to know why this error occurs and what I have to do to troubleshoot.
some questions that I also want to know is What version of C++ does C/C++ currently have (such as C++12. C++15, C++20). This was not documented somewhere for me to find, and I need to know in order for me to continue using this extension in the future.
Thank you for reading this prompt.
