Hello,
I recently bought a Macbook air with the M1 chip. I follow coding lessons in school but we use windows in school i was wondering if it is possible to use a mac and do the things as a windows.
i follow coding and webdesign both in visual studio but they are in like diffrent programs one is blue the other pink (on windows)
i can asume this sounds really dumb, but im new to programming and i just want to know if my mac can do the same as windows.
in you video’s you can see that the runner is in visual studio itself, i wonder if it’s possible to have a seprate window pop up like on windows then you can also work with for example: gotoxy(..,..).
i hope this makes sence and i hope you can help me.
have a nice day,
– Mattijs
