Visual Code Notebook extension that uses C++ compiler to compile notebook cells.
Features
Quickly run small snippets of c/c++ code in a notebook. Load and Save the notebook with a .cxxnb extension.
Try with various compiler options by changing the Kernel, which are defined in a config file
All kernel details are stored under settings cxxnb: Kernel File Path. To run a C++ snippet create a cxxnb notebook and click run.
Create New CXX Notebook

Demonstrates on how to edit kernel.json manually.
If kernel.json file does not exist, a file will be created with default compiler g++ and -Wall options.
Save/Load Notebook kernel
