    • Visual Studio Code, often abbreviated as VS Code, is a popular open-source code editor developed by Microsoft. It was first released in 2015 and has since gained widespread adoption among developers due to its lightweight design, extensive functionality, and cross-platform compatibility (it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux).

       VS Code is designed to be an efficient and customizable editor for programming languages like JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, C++, C#, and many others. It provides various features like syntax highlighting, code completion, debugging, and integrated terminal, which make coding more accessible and efficient.

      One of the key strengths of VS Code is its extensibility. The editor can be customized with extensions that add support for new languages, provide additional functionality, or integrate with other tools and services. The Visual Studio Code Marketplace is a central repository where developers can find, install, and manage these extensions.

      While the name “Visual Studio Code” is similar to Microsoft's flagship integrated development environment (IDE) called “Visual Studio", it's important to note that VS Code is not a full-fledged IDE. Instead, it is a versatile code editor that can be extended to provide IDE-like features as needed.
