MacBook for VS code, can't change to Command Prompt...Help

[spook16100]

I’m on Lesson 15 trying to run the:

Int main()
{
return 0;
}

function, and when I open the terminal it looks nothing like the tutorial does. Then when I go (terminal -> Run active file ) It gives an error. (shown below).
If I click any other of the Run options in Terminal menu it says “Tasks are only available on a workspace folder.”

I think it’s not running properly because it says “zsh” and not “cmd” but I can’t change that either.

I’m very new, and it’s not clarified or making any sense. I also want to know do you NEED VS code for Unreal Engine? Or can all this be done on Xcode?

You’re trying to compile a file and produce the output to the same file.

---

g++ triplex.cpp

This tells GCC to compile the file triplex.cpp

-o triplex

This telss GCC to name the output file “triplex” (note the lack of .cpp). Then to execute the program

./triplex

Again note the lack of .cpp.

Hello

This is all very new to me. And the terminology is difficult to understand.

How would I fix this issue then?

So when I’m saving it do I pick one of these options below?

Because mine is on “All Files” I tried C++ but the same things were happening.

If I’m familiar with XCode do I need to use VS Code at all for Unreal Engine?

Or would I not be able to follow along the tutorials?
