Don't have c_cpp_properties.json file in vscode

Question

I started learning cpp in vscode a while ago. I am not getting back into it but I have no idea how to compile/run programs and every tutorial that I'm watching is saying that I have to copy and paste the path from my MinGW folder to the path in c_cpp_properties.json but within my .vscode folder I don't have that file. Instead I have three other files.

How do I add the c_cpp_properties.json file?

Answer 1

You can view the C/C++ configuration UI by running the command C/C++: Edit Configurations (UI) from the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P).

From here.

This will add c_cpp_properties file.
