Visual Studio Code: Receive User Input

Question

I'm currently trying to write a C / C ++ program in Visual Studio Code. For this, I installed two extensions: C / C ++ & C ++ Intellisense

According to the documentation, the debugging tool is not available for windows. I was able to compile and run the code using the following tasks:

{
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "command": "cmd",
    "isShellCommand": true,
    "args": [
        "/C"
    ],
    "tasks": [
        {
            "taskName": "Makefile",
            "suppressTaskName": true,
            // Make this the default build command.
            "isBuildCommand": true,
            // Show the output window only if unrecognized errors occur.
            "showOutput": "always",
            // No args
            "args": [
                "C:/Programs/cygwin/bin/make.exe",
                "all"
            ],
            // Use the standard less compilation problem matcher.
            "problemMatcher": {
                "owner": "cpp",
                "fileLocation": [
                    "relative",
                    "${workspaceRoot}"
                ],
                "pattern": {
                    "regexp": "^(.*):(\\d+):(\\d+):\\s+(warning|error):\\s+(.*)$",
                    "file": 1,
                    "line": 2,
                    "column": 3,
                    "severity": 4,
                    "message": 5
                }
            }
        },
        {
            "taskName": "Run",
            "suppressTaskName": true,
            "isTestCommand": true,
            "args": [
                "helloworld"
            ]
        }
    ]
}

and one simple Makefile:

all: clean helloworld

helloworld: helloworld.cpp
    C:/Programs/cygwin/bin/g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloworld

clean:
    C:/Programs/cygwin/bin/rm -rf helloworld

But the problem arises when programs need user input during operation. Suppose for this very familiar program helloworld.

# include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int name;

  cin >> name;

  cout << "Hello, " << name << "!!!" << endl;

  return 0;
}

Could you please help me get user input at runtime. There is a workaround for passing input as command line arguments. But this is not possible for programs with complex threads.
