How to make Code Runner run in external terminal (Command Prompt)?

问题

So, basically the Code Runner in Visual Studio Code can run in the integrated terminal. How can I make it to run in external terminal, which is command prompt because I need to present my program's output to my classmates, so it's not convenient to display it through the integrated one.

I know there's a software like Dev-C++ that can run in external terminal, but I love to use this VS Code because of its clean UI, and the Code Runner plugin is pretty good doing its job. How can I do it just with one-click? Is there any configuration?

Supposing that you are using Windows, All you need to do is to put the "start" command before the .exe file you want to run in the code-runner.executorMap option. Here is an example:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
        "cpp": "g++ $fullFileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && start $fileNameWithoutExt.exe"
}

If anybody wondering how to edit "code-runner.executorMap"":{} nether of above answers provide a way to get into settings.json. So I'm writing this answer just to clarify how you can get into the code runner settings.

go to the File -> Preferences -> Settings and search for 'executorMap' in search tab -> then click Code-runner:Executor Map and edit the code as follows for C,

"code-runner.executorMap": {
        "c": "g++ $fullFileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && start $fileNameWithoutExt.exe"
}

For C++ edit the code as follows,

"code-runner.executorMap": {
        "cpp": "g++ $fullFileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && start $fileNameWithoutExt.exe"
}

Note: This solution is for windows environments

If you are running linux then you can paste this in code-runner.executorMap

    "code-runner.executorMap": {
        "c": "cd $dir && gcc $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && xterm -hold ./$fileNameWithoutExt",
        "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && xterm -hold ./$fileNameWithoutExt"
    }

you can use this if you have xterm. -hold flag is used to keep the window open after the code is executed

On Windows, when Default Shell, in VSCode, is set to PowerShell 7 (pwsh.exe) I use:

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "c": "cd $dir && gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c18 $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && Start-Process -FilePath pwsh -ArgumentList \"-Command  &{.\\$fileNameWithoutExt.exe; pause}\"",
}

When Default Shell, in VSCode, is set to Command Prompt (cmd.exe) I use

"code-runner.executorMap": {
     "c": "cd $dir && gcc -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -std=c18 $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt.exe && Start pwsh -Command  \"& {.\\$fileNameWithoutExt.exe; pause}\"",
}

In both cases "pause" will keep the external PowerShell 7 terminal open after the code is executed.
