How to fix - [#include errors detected - Update your include path] in C++ for MACOS using VS Code.

hello everyone I was recently trying to write a simple C plus program on my Mac OS when I encountered an error when I tried adding hash include bit slash stdcplusplus.h header files it threw me an error so in this video I have replicated the error and I'll help you all dissolve it in six simple steps on my Mac OS and I hope it helps you all so here as you all can see that when I added hash include bits slash stdcplus plus dot h header files um it threw me an error that states that hash include errors detected please update your include path so here uh basically the problem is that I have specified a path for it to look up standard C plus plus libraries but it might not be able to detect those libraries in the specified parts so we will have to update that include path and that's how we will proceed forward so for step one we will go to our terminal and we will type this command cpp's space hyphen V so this will help us get the path for include files and then we will specifically select this path uh as stated your library slash developer slash command line tools slash user slash include as this will take us to the include directory where standard header files for C plus are located so for the second step we will go to the specified location where the include files are located with the help of the path we just extracted on our terminal so for that the command will be CD space and the path that we just extracted for the include files so once we are inside the include directory the third step is to create a directory inside of include called bits so what we're trying to do here is basically that our goal is to create a file called stdc plus plus dot h inside bits directory which will contain all the pre-compiled headers which we will be using first for our C plus plus program so now we will run this command called sudo mkbir bits inside of include directory so what will what that will do is basically create a directory called bits inside of include directory and now I will just enter the quickly under the password uh let's run this command now to see that a directory call bits is created so for a fourth step we will run this command called sudo space web space stdcplus.h what it will do is basically open up a file a named stdcplus plus dot h in Vim editor where we can copy paste all the pre-compiled headers that we have and I will paste them from the link that I have and that link I'll also paste in the description below for you guys to refer to and copy paste from there so for the step 5 you all can just copy paste the contents of the file in the description below called stdcplus plus dot h where all the pre-compiled headers are available so once we've copied all the contents and made the changes on the Bim Editor to the stdc plus dot h file we can just simply quit the web editor by running this command called colon WQ that basically stands for colon write and quit the Bim editor and it will save all our changes that we made to this stdc plus dot h file so now we'll just quickly do an LS to see that our file has been created and yeah it has so for a last step that is Step number six we can just uh quit and reopen our program on Visual Studio code and as you all can see like the error is gone and we'll just now quickly run the program on Visual Studio code and uh yeah it's printing hello world correctly so that means that we were able to run our program successfully and finally remove the hash include bit slash stdcplusplus.h error thank you
