A tasks.json file for compiling a simple C++ application in VS Code

tasks.json

/* Been going through the Learn C++ tutorial (https://www.learncpp.com/), and so far this seems to be a pretty good setup for
tasks.json in VS Code.  This tasks.json file is specific for clang++ (I'm on macOS 13.x), so you may need to update the `args`
to suit your own environment.  In particular, you will want to replace with {your application name here} with whatever you want
your build artifact to be named.
