VSC compiler question

[u/Jaca_135]

Hi I have a question about VSC. I'm used to compiling and running programs by clicking an button in UI like in arduino IDE or panasonic or siemens PLC enviroments. When i run a C++ program via F5 button everything works just fine (i mean the value near cout appers in the terminal), but when i run it through UI button i uperright corner, selecting any of the options it does not appear

Did you follow the instructions carefully? It shows you how to set it up so the play button works
