I'm taking a programming class next semester. and I've heard that they use Visual Studio Code for their programs in the class.

I'm looking into getting a head start. and ill be going on vacation next week i'm really looking into using the extra time to get a head start and start reading my text book and doing some of the practice programs.

I've been trying to figure this out for a while and I can't find and up to date tutorials on youtube.

I've been scared to ask... because the internet usually isnt very nice... but how do I actually get the program to execute in VSC?

Please take this kindly and dont attempt to "Roast" me for not being as knowlegable as you are. as I'm just a beginner looking for a head start on whats to come. Thank you for taking the time to read this and possibly aiding me on my trek in computer science and engineering.

What language are you learning ? .

If it is as simple as a console application which i would imagine you would start on, its literally just the green execute button top left-ish

Visual Studio Code is a text editor, not an IDE.

I don't think there is a way to execute code using it. I'd assume you'd use it for writing the code and then compile via command line. Or you'll have to probably rely on plugins or something.

So I have mad some major changes, went from windows 10 to Ubuntu, and I love it. I am programming currently in "c" because that is what my class will be over here in the future. I am writing and executing in sublime text.

Thanks for the help guys, if you have any advice feel free to drop a comment or pm me.

Well, it's got an unlimited free trial but, every 8 saves, you are confronted with a purchase window. Atom is far too heavy for my liking. Any editor built on Electron such as Atom or Visual Studio Code kills me inside. I tend to stick to vim for everything.

However, you can just use keys from the internet to unlock sublime or patch like 4 bytes in the PE and make it so the save counter defaults to 0 (it jumps to some routine that shows the "please purchase" window so I just made the jump to the "false" branch unconditional every save).
