How to create a c++ project and run it in vscode on mac?

Answer 1

VS Code as such does not know how to create projects, since it is just a text editor with extensions, and not a full-fledged development environment.
To work with a new project, the algorithm is something like this:

1. install clang
   
2. Install C/C++ extension for VS Code
   
3. Create an empty directory
   
4. Open it via VS Code
   
5. Create *.cpp files in open workspace
