I need an external terminal in Visual Studio Code while working with C++ so I can have user input in the terminal. I can’t get it to work.<\/p>\n
Example Program that I can’t get an external teminal to work with:<\/p>\n
#include <iostream>\n#include <string>\n\nusing namespace std;\nint main() {\ncout << \"Hello World\";\n\n//Press enter to close.\nchar close;\ncout << \"\\nThis window may now be closed.\\n\";\ncin >> close;\nreturn 0;\n}\n\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
