Folder Structure

The workspace contains two folders by default, where:

• src: the folder to maintain sources
• lib: the folder to maintain dependencies

Meanwhile, the compiled output files will be generated in the bin folder by default.

If you want to customize the folder structure, open .vscode/settings.json and update the related settings there.
