When I run my C++ code using Visual Studio Code with all necessary C++ plugins installed, it always shows these messages in the Terminal before actually displaying my code's intended output:

I'm using MingW as a compiler and I chose g++ to run and compile this particular code.
Is this something unavoidable? I prefer to have a clear window to test my code if it's possible. I looked at all the other tabs (Problems, Output, Debug Console, Ports) but I don't find what I was looking for. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I tried using gcc as a compiler instead, but nothing different happened.
Don't worry, what you're seeing in Visual Studio Code is completely normal! It's like a backstage pass to your program's performance. The tool is just giving you a peek into the nitty-gritty details, such as the arguments being used, the parameters in play, and even the interpreter that's doing all the behind-the-scenes work.
