Editing a console application in Visual Studio Code

The application we just created can now be changed and run again. You’ll open it up in Visual Studio Code, make a small change, and then run it again. The steps are as follows:

1. Locate the MyFirstApp folder. If you still have the command line from the previous walkthrough open, you can find it by typing explorer . in Windows, open . in Mac, or xdg-open . in Linux.
2. Open Visual Studio Code, go to File | Open Folder, and find and open the folder named MyFirstApp.
