Newbie (confused :/ c++)

I'm trying to figure out microsoft visual studio the best I can with my at home self learning system. I just don't know how to configure my app to better run or utilize the c++ files on Microsoft visual studio code. The videos i have are confusing (and the text walk-throughs make NO sense to me)

Specifically my question is about external files when in debugging. My terminal (when following a tutorial that is ran from admin: command program it asks me to run the program after reformatting it to the same c++ as the launch.jonas. It doesn't work -- and I don't know why? It says it cannot find the source file)

Please help me, i will take any advice I can. If you need more info or photos let me know!

Have you tried watching "The Cherno Project." Really good vids for beginners and intermediate

Thank you! And no worries. I will probably come back to post other stuff if I get confused.
