#include errors detected in vscode

Question

I am using Visual Studio Code in my C++ project. I installed Microsoft C/C++ Extension for VS Code. I got the following error:

#include error

Answer 1

For Windows:

1. Please add this directory to your environment variable(Path):

C:\mingw-w64\x86_64-8.1.0-win32-seh-rt_v6-rev0\mingw64\bin\

2. For Include errors detected, mention the path of your include folder into

"includePath": [ "C:/mingw-w64/x86_64-8.1.0-win32-seh-rt_v6-rev0/mingw64/include/" ]

, as this is the path from where the compiler fetches the library to be included in your program.
