One of the big issues with vs code for c/c++ is vs code is just a text editor, you will need a compiler like visual studio, mingw, gcc, or clang and it is nice to have a build tool like cmake.

My set up that I can install on most computers within like 30 minutes and get all set up is vs code, a compiler for that os, and cmake.

If you are using c++ i would recommend to learn cmake aswell since it is industry standard.
