1
00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:10,570
In this video, I'll show you how to use the source code provided for the course with Visual Studio

2
00:00:10,570 --> 00:00:11,140
code.

3
00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:13,780
First thing we need to do is get to the source code.

4
00:00:14,050 --> 00:00:19,370
The source code is provided in the course content and you can see right now it's in section 22.

5
00:00:19,390 --> 00:00:23,650
It's in a section called Extra Information Source Code and other stuff.

6
00:00:23,650 --> 00:00:26,860
And if you open that up, you'll see that source code for all sections.

7
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:28,720
And it will bring you this page right here.

8
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,270
Don't go off of section 22.

9
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:36,550
If I add new sections to the course, that will get bumped down to 23, 24, 25.

10
00:00:36,550 --> 00:00:38,930
So I'm not sure where that will be when you watch the video.

11
00:00:38,950 --> 00:00:43,030
Just look for extra information, source code and other stuff.

12
00:00:43,060 --> 00:00:44,920
Open that up and you'll find the source code.

13
00:00:45,310 --> 00:00:50,560
Once you do that, there will be a link to a zip file for the source code for each section in the course.

14
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:53,800
And if you want to download the source code, just click on the link.

15
00:00:54,340 --> 00:01:00,820
I've already done that and I've downloaded the source code for section four as a zip file and you can

16
00:01:00,820 --> 00:01:01,900
see it right here.

17
00:01:02,140 --> 00:01:03,700
There's the zip file right here.

18
00:01:03,770 --> 00:01:06,190
What I'm going to do is I'm just going to double click on it.

19
00:01:07,260 --> 00:01:09,600
And then extracts the Section four folder.

20
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:13,570
So I'm just going to select Section four and I'm just going to move it over to my desktop.

21
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:15,900
I'm just using the desktop and an example.

22
00:01:15,900 --> 00:01:17,910
You can move that to any folder you wish.

23
00:01:17,940 --> 00:01:21,750
What's really important is whatever folders you create, whatever names you use.

24
00:01:21,780 --> 00:01:26,120
Remember, no spaces, no international characters and no special characters.

25
00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:27,950
Otherwise, you may have build problems.

26
00:01:27,960 --> 00:01:32,940
So now once we've got that on our desktop, you can see our previous Section X course that I created

27
00:01:32,940 --> 00:01:34,230
in the previous videos.

28
00:01:34,230 --> 00:01:40,120
This section for what we need to do now is we need to open up this folder within Visual Studio code.

29
00:01:40,140 --> 00:01:44,880
You see, this folder has projects within it challenge solution, compiler errors, compiler warnings

30
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:45,660
and so forth.

31
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:50,430
Those will be the individual projects that will also be using within Visual Studio code.

32
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:55,260
So I'm just going to close this and I'm going to head over to Visual Studio code right here, and I'm

33
00:01:55,260 --> 00:01:58,770
going to open Section four from my desktop.

34
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:05,330
Make sure you open the section four folder, not the folders within section four.

35
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,300
So I'll select open and there we go.

36
00:02:08,300 --> 00:02:13,280
You can see that the folder structure has now been opened within Visual Studio code and it just makes

37
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:13,940
this a little bigger.

38
00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:18,770
So you can see that Section four right there and within Section four you've got the projects that I

39
00:02:18,770 --> 00:02:19,340
mentioned.

40
00:02:19,340 --> 00:02:20,570
We also have some other files.

41
00:02:20,570 --> 00:02:26,090
We have this dot code light folder and this Makefile in section four workspace and so forth.

42
00:02:26,090 --> 00:02:28,550
Those are all code light files.

43
00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:29,780
Don't worry about those.

44
00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:34,370
You can remove them if you like, or you can just leave them in and you can use your project with Visual

45
00:02:34,370 --> 00:02:35,930
Studio code or with code light.

46
00:02:35,930 --> 00:02:38,450
Visual Studio code will just ignore those files.

47
00:02:39,470 --> 00:02:40,400
So what do we do next?

48
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:47,540
Well, we need to configure Visual Studio code to think of this section as a C plus plus section.

49
00:02:47,540 --> 00:02:47,810
Right.

50
00:02:47,810 --> 00:02:52,820
So what we need to do is we need to set up IntelliSense, we need to set up our default build task.

51
00:02:52,820 --> 00:02:57,500
And if we want to debug, we need to set up our launch JSON file.

52
00:02:57,500 --> 00:02:59,060
There's a couple of ways we can do that.

53
00:02:59,060 --> 00:03:02,570
We can do it manually, just like we did in the previous videos for this section.

54
00:03:02,570 --> 00:03:07,450
And that's what I'll do here again, just so you see it one more time, or you can grab that dot vs

55
00:03:07,490 --> 00:03:11,510
code folder that you've already created in those other projects and just move it into here.

56
00:03:11,510 --> 00:03:16,370
Just copy it right into section four and you'll be good to go, but I'm going to do it one step at a

57
00:03:16,370 --> 00:03:17,630
time, so let's do that.

58
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:21,010
So the first thing we'll do is we'll open up any one of these.

59
00:03:21,010 --> 00:03:26,790
And I'm just going to open up, let's say first program and select the main CPP file within it.

60
00:03:26,790 --> 00:03:28,710
That's the program we'll use to configure.

61
00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:33,060
So what we'll do first is we'll go over here to view and the command palette.

62
00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:35,400
We'll type C++.

63
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:41,310
And again, we're looking for C, C++, edit configurations UI right there, we'll select that and then

64
00:03:41,310 --> 00:03:42,990
we want to be sure we're using C++.

65
00:03:42,990 --> 00:03:47,460
So you come down to compiler path and whatever's there, just change it to G Plus.

66
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:49,640
Plus, we've got that note.

67
00:03:49,710 --> 00:03:55,950
We'll scroll down a little bit further and look for the C++ 17 standard and we'll use C++ 17.

68
00:03:56,580 --> 00:03:57,240
That's it.

69
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:00,900
I'm going to command S to save it and I'll close that up.

70
00:04:00,900 --> 00:04:07,200
So notice now our V code folder has been set up with our CP properties JSON file, so we're good to

71
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:07,860
go here.

72
00:04:07,860 --> 00:04:10,380
Now what we're going to do is set up the default build test.

73
00:04:10,380 --> 00:04:12,960
So again, click on that main CP.

74
00:04:13,230 --> 00:04:16,320
This time you go up to terminal and down at the bottom.

75
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,360
Configure default, build task.

76
00:04:18,630 --> 00:04:19,680
I'll select that.

77
00:04:20,399 --> 00:04:23,850
I'm going to use G plus plus, I'll select G plus plus.

78
00:04:23,850 --> 00:04:29,040
And this is the file we're going to make a couple of changes in in the ARGs section here on line eight,

79
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:38,790
we're going to add dash w LX with W is capitalized and we're going to add dash speed equals C plus plus

80
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:44,370
17 to tell the compiler to use the C++ standard just like that.

81
00:04:44,370 --> 00:04:48,930
If you're typing anything and you see squiggles like you're seeing right there, that means there's

82
00:04:48,930 --> 00:04:52,170
a typo somewhere you might have forgotten a quote mark or a comma.

83
00:04:52,170 --> 00:04:53,460
In this case, it's the comma.

84
00:04:53,940 --> 00:05:01,410
Then what we'll do is we'll take this file your name and we'll copy that right into line 12 and replace

85
00:05:01,410 --> 00:05:03,000
file with file your name.

86
00:05:03,180 --> 00:05:09,930
And once we do that, we have to add our slash start up CP to tell the compiler to compile all the files

87
00:05:09,930 --> 00:05:10,440
in there.

88
00:05:10,590 --> 00:05:11,190
That's it.

89
00:05:11,190 --> 00:05:12,240
So now we're done with that.

90
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,890
We can now build our project.

91
00:05:13,890 --> 00:05:14,730
Let's try it out.

92
00:05:14,730 --> 00:05:18,240
So I'm going to close this out and I'm going to open my main CP again.

93
00:05:18,930 --> 00:05:25,440
Now, once I'm here, I can come up to terminal and run the build task or you can press shift command

94
00:05:25,470 --> 00:05:25,920
b.

95
00:05:27,030 --> 00:05:30,090
You can see down here we've got a build and it was successful.

96
00:05:30,300 --> 00:05:31,310
Always double check.

97
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:37,860
You've got your minus G, your minus wall, you've got your standard C++ 17 and we've got our CP files

98
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:40,050
being compiled at that point.

99
00:05:40,050 --> 00:05:45,390
Now we have this main executable that was created for us right here inside Project one.

100
00:05:45,390 --> 00:05:48,900
So I can right click on that and open it in the integrated terminal.

101
00:05:49,290 --> 00:05:53,700
We can do an LZ to see the files that we've got and we've got several files.

102
00:05:53,700 --> 00:05:55,080
Some of them are code light files.

103
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:55,890
Don't worry about them.

104
00:05:55,890 --> 00:05:56,820
This dot mkay.

105
00:05:56,820 --> 00:05:58,140
And the dot project file.

106
00:05:58,140 --> 00:06:01,050
But we do have our main executable right here if we want to run it.

107
00:06:01,170 --> 00:06:07,830
We just type dot forward slash main and press enter enter your favorite number between one and 100,

108
00:06:07,830 --> 00:06:09,150
let's say 45.

109
00:06:09,510 --> 00:06:10,020
Amazing.

110
00:06:10,020 --> 00:06:11,460
That's my favorite number two.

111
00:06:11,460 --> 00:06:15,660
And you can see from the source code up here, that's exactly what the program is doing.

112
00:06:15,660 --> 00:06:18,750
So that's it for configuring for the build.

113
00:06:18,750 --> 00:06:23,790
Now, in order to configure for debugging, let me close this window here to make up a little more room.

114
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:31,170
What we can do is again, we can select our main DHCP file and we can come up to run add configuration

115
00:06:31,170 --> 00:06:34,230
and select C++ gdb ltb.

116
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:36,540
And G plus plus.

117
00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:39,450
Now, at this point, we're want to kill the debugger right here.

118
00:06:39,450 --> 00:06:42,930
We want to use that little red square right here icon to stop it.

119
00:06:42,930 --> 00:06:48,780
And what we want to do is we want to edit this launch JSON file that was created right there, which

120
00:06:48,780 --> 00:06:49,770
is open already.

121
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:54,630
The only thing we want to do here is we want to change the type to LTB.

122
00:06:55,740 --> 00:07:00,390
When we do that, you'll notice we have some errors just like we had before in the previous videos.

123
00:07:00,390 --> 00:07:02,580
We just want to delete those lines.

124
00:07:02,580 --> 00:07:05,970
We don't want any squiggles or any red markers or anything anywhere.

125
00:07:06,450 --> 00:07:07,050
That's it.

126
00:07:07,050 --> 00:07:09,180
Your current working directory should be filed.

127
00:07:09,180 --> 00:07:09,780
Your name.

128
00:07:09,780 --> 00:07:10,890
Make sure that that's correct.

129
00:07:10,890 --> 00:07:13,650
If it's not, you can change it to that and that's it.

130
00:07:13,650 --> 00:07:15,720
I'll save that and we'll close this up.

131
00:07:16,260 --> 00:07:18,480
And now we can debug this program that's open.

132
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:24,690
So I can click on the program and then select the debugger right over here on the left, that bug play

133
00:07:24,690 --> 00:07:26,070
icon run and debug.

134
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:32,130
I can select that and it's waiting for us now to execute it by clicking on that green arrow up here.

135
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:36,600
I do want to put a breakpoint in, so let's put a breakpoint right here on line seven.

136
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,420
You can come across here, you'll see that red dot.

137
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,700
There's a breakpoint showing up down here.

138
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:46,560
If you see a lot of other breakpoints from other projects, clear them out and then just come in here

139
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,060
and select the breakpoint you want.

140
00:07:48,450 --> 00:07:51,270
At this point, we can run it, so we'll just click on that red arrow.

141
00:07:51,870 --> 00:07:53,700
The debugger will engage.

142
00:07:54,210 --> 00:07:55,800
This bottom bar turns orange.

143
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,260
You can see favorite number up here, set to zero.

144
00:07:58,260 --> 00:08:01,230
We never initialized it and we'll talk about that in the class.

145
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,900
Our current executing line is line seven.

146
00:08:03,900 --> 00:08:09,210
So we can execute it by just stepping over, by pressing this icon right here and the output will be

147
00:08:09,210 --> 00:08:09,900
here in terminal.

148
00:08:09,900 --> 00:08:11,190
So you can always click there.

149
00:08:11,190 --> 00:08:13,290
So I'll do that and I'll do it one more time.

150
00:08:13,290 --> 00:08:15,450
It's asking me now for the favorite number.

151
00:08:15,450 --> 00:08:20,670
Again, I'll type 45 one more time and when I press enter now you'll see that I'm stopped at line nine

152
00:08:20,670 --> 00:08:23,790
and favorite numbers value has changed to 45.

153
00:08:23,790 --> 00:08:29,910
And as before, we can hover over that variable name and we can see our value to finish the program.

154
00:08:29,910 --> 00:08:33,780
You can click the play arrow or you can just stop it right here in the debugger.

155
00:08:33,780 --> 00:08:34,860
I'll just continue.

156
00:08:34,890 --> 00:08:35,640
That's it.

157
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,720
So there you go.

158
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:42,270
This video shows you how to set up the source code provided for the course to work within Visual Studio

159
00:08:42,270 --> 00:08:42,720
code.

160
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,159
So now we can edit.

161
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:47,040
We can debug and we can build and run.
