Answer a question

So, basically the Code Runner in Visual Studio Code can run in the integrated terminal. How can I make it to run in external terminal, which is command prompt because I need to present my program's output to my classmates, so it's not convenient to display it through the integrated one.

I know there's a software like Dev-C++ that can run in external terminal, but I love to use this VS Code because of its clean UI, and the Code Runner plugin is pretty good doing its job. How can I do it just with one-click? Is there any configuration?

Supposing that you are using Windows, All you need to do is to put the "start" command before the .exe file you want to run in the code-runner.executorMap option. Here is an example:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
        "cpp": "g++ $fullFileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && start $fileNameWithoutExt.exe"
}
