How do I set up Visual Studio Code for debugging?

To set up debugging in Visual Studio Code, first, ensure you have the necessary extensions installed for your programming language.

What extensions do I need for Python?

For Python, you should install the 'Python' extension by Microsoft, which provides rich support for Python development.

How do I configure the debugger after installing the extension?

You can configure the debugger by creating a launch.json file in the .vscode folder, where you can specify your debugging settings.

Can you show me an example of a launch.json configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

{
  "version": "0.2.0",
  "configurations": [
    {
      "name": "Python: Current File",
      "type": "python",
      "request": "launch",
      "program": "${file}",
      "console": "integratedTerminal"
    }
  ]
}
