VSCode for firmware development

Four months ago, I went to a city on a business trip where some of my friends were working. Needing some tools to support my work, I recommended a fantastic coding and debugging tool—VS Code. To my surprise, my friends were not familiar with this tool.

While there are numerous coding tools available, including various IDEs, Uledit, and Source Insight, I believe that VS Code stands out as the best option, and the fact that it’s free makes it even more appealing. If you’re looking to learn Python, you can easily install Python and its extension on your PC. This allows you to code and debug Python projects seamlessly. Similarly, if you aim to enhance your C programming skills, you can install GCC on your PC and leverage VS Code for coding and debugging C code.

Trust me, if you haven’t explored this application yet, I highly recommend checking it out. You can familiarize yourself with it by visiting the following link: https://code.visualstudio.com/. Start using it, and you’ll likely find it to be a valuable asset for your coding endeavors.

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // Declare variables
    int num1, num2, sum;

    // Input: Ask user to enter two numbers
    printf("Enter the first number: ");
    scanf("%d", &num1);

    printf("Enter the second number: ");
    scanf("%d", &num2);

    // Calculate the sum
    sum = num1 + num2;

    // Output: Display the result
    printf("The sum of %d and %d is: %d", num1, num2, sum);

    return 0;
}
// result:
// PS E:\006-Programing\007-c> gcc -o main  main.c
// PS E:\006-Programing\007-c> ./main
// Enter the first number: 23
// Enter the second number: 65
// The sum of 23 and 65 is: 88
// PS E:\006-Programing\007-c>
