Node Js local environment for VSCODE

This project allows you to test your Javascript code before submitting your answer on codeforces.com

How to use this project

1. Clone the project
2. (For windows users:) Make cmd.exe as your default shell, you can do that by editing this parameter on your VScode settings:

"terminal.integrated.automationProfile.windows": {
  "path": "cmd.exe"
}

3. Change the layout of your VSCODE to look like that, (just drag and drop the panels):

4. Type your code inside the main function on the script.js file (don't edit the upper part of the file)
5. Add the data test on the input.txt file
   • Just click on copy from the codeforces.com site and paste it on your file
6. Run the Task by clicking on Terminal > Run Build Task... on your VsCode menu, or use the shortcut Ctr + Alt + B
   • Make sure that you are on the script.js file before running the task
7. The result will be written in the output.txt file

Submitting to codeforces.com

• Copy the entire code from script.js and paste it on the submission form
• Choose Node as language (do not pick JavaScript)

node script.js < ./input.txt > ./output.txt
