如何为 WSL 和 Visual Studio 代码配置编译器

Question

I am new to linux, c++, and visual studio code. Right now, the compiler I have installed does not match the required year for my class, which is g++ 2017. I am wondering how to add the compiler, which is on the linux environment, to visual studio code.

Thank you!

You can start here:

Using C++ and WSL in VS Code

There is a VSCode extension Remote - WSL that simplifies the setup.

Don't worry about the exact compiler version, a newer version should work fine (better even).
