  • Well first you'll have to install an intellisense plugin on vscode for your specific language. Make sure you have a compiler/interpreter for your language.
  • Install coderunner for quickly compiling and running code.
  • press ctrl+shift+p and go to configure user snippets. here you can generate a snippet that gets triggered by a command. This can be used since you'll have to use your code templates for every program. it reduces the task of copying and pasting. you can generate snippet code from https://snippet-generator.app/
  • If you'd like to use my vscode settings. i'll attach it here, you can press ctrl+shift+p and go to settings.json and paste it in there.
