C++ Build for Visual Studio Code

VS-Code is horrible but I'm going to use it because I'm a professional. LOL

This is my tasks.json file which will compile, link and run my C++ when I press shift-Apple-B.
{
    // See https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=733558
    // for the documentation about the tasks.json format
    "version": "2.0.0",
    "tasks": [{
            "label": "build C++",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "g++",
            "args": [
                "-std=c++14", "-c", "-o", "${fileBasenameNoExtension}.o", "${file}"
            ],

        },
