Step 1: Edit launch.json file

{
  // Use IntelliSense to learn about possible attributes.
  // Hover to view descriptions of existing attributes.

Step 2: Edit tasks.json file

        "-stdlib=libc++",
        "-g",
        "${file}",
        "-o",
        "${fileDirname}/${fileBasenameNoExtension}"
      ],
      "options": {
        "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}"
      },
      "problemMatcher": ["$gcc"],
