NEED HELP WITH VISUAL STUDIO 2017 (beginner)
How does it work? I am a beginner at it and I want to know how do I use it?
1. Does it do the same work as TURBO C++ ? Or Will it be able to compile, tell errors and run a ".c" or ".cpp" file?
2. After having installed the C/C++ extension, how do I activate it or use it for C programming?
3, What is debugging? Is it the same as removing errors from the code I have written (in C language) after reading the errors listed by the compiler? (The same as we do in Linux or Turbo C)
4. Why do I install "git"? I mean is it needed? For what purpose is it used?

Hey sorry!
My question was for VS Code and not Visual Studio.
Plz tell me where and how can I run the code in Visual Studio Code
How to run it?
and what is the command for compiling it in command prompt (Windows)
Thanks @sarabande

there is nothing named 'VS Code' in visual studio 2017.
as told you have to create a new project of type win32 console. then you can add new or existing source files (.c or .cpp files) to the project and compile and build in the Visual Studio (as described above).
to build from command line (not recommended for a beginner) you open a command window in windows (dos box), search for devenv.exe by
cd "c:\program files (x86)"
dir /s devenv.exe
if devenv.exe was found you add the path to the folder where it resides to the PATH Environment variable, then navigate to your (new) project Folder (where the test.vcxproj file resides) and call
devenv test.sln /build
