How to Setup VS Code For C++ 14 /C ++17

Question

I tried to run a .cpp file from workspace but giving me this error about not adding c++11/higher flags but I have added them in task.json

Error

I added code runner and added this in settings.json Seems to work for me :D

"code-runner.executorMap": {
    "cpp": "cd $dir && g++ -std=c++17 $fileName -o $fileNameWithoutExt && $dir$fileNameWithoutExt",
},
