Does Microsoft Visual Studio Code has its own Python environment?

Question

On my Windows 7 64-bit, I installed Anaconda3 v4.4.0 in C:\\Anaconda3, however it could not launch Jupyter ( Can't open anaconda jupyter notebook: Network Error (dns_unresolved_hostname) ), so I installed Microsoft Visual Studio Code then added python support , now i can run some simple python code such as

p = (4,5)
x,y=p
x
y
z=x+y
print(z)

Now my questions is, does Microsoft Visual Source Code has its own Python environment, or it's actually using Anaconda installed?

Answer 1

Since VS 2017 it comes with an Python Environment itself. So I would say that VS Code uses that and not Anaconda.
