How do I output simple code in Visual Studio Code?

Question

I have been using freecodecamp and I just want to have a place I can test things and save code. I been googling for a while and it seems so complicated I wonder why they don't just have a simple button or tab perhaps this is not something experienced coders want. Perhaps I should use a more beginner friendly app?

So far the best thing I have found is this: Visual Studio Code is not showing the ouput of Python

I am learning JS btw.

Thank you for any help.

If it's purely JavaScript, you could run it with Node through the console tab in VSC.
