Using the launch.json and launch.task

This project includes a configuration for launching and building C/C++ programs using Visual Studio Code. The configuration is defined in the launch.json file and utilizes a prelaunch task in the launch.task file.

1. Open this project in Visual Studio Code.

2. To run/debug specific programs within the project, set the "program" field in launch.json to the name of the directory you want to run, e.g., "program": "${workspaceFolder}/bin/03_select". Additionally, update the "args" array entry to match the directory build, e.g., "args": ["03_select"].

3. Press F5 to build and launch your C/C++ program. The launch.json configuration handles the build and execution process.
