Is there a way to configure memory and time limits to visual studio code just like leetcode IDE?

I’ll clear up something really quick: Visual Studio Code is not an IDE, it’s a text editor. Therefore it’s not up to it to decide the compilation and linking process. It can however integrate into shell to run shell commands to build your project.

On Linux you can use the time utility to verify that your running time is reasonable. You can run it from a terminal like that.

$ time path/to/my_program.exe

As for windows, I don’t know any good built-in alternatives, except that I know that in PowerShell there’s a Measure-Command cmdlet. If your VSCode terminal shell is PowerShell you can type the following:

> Measure-Command { path/to/my_program.exe }

To check memory usage of your program I can recommend using valgrind. This tool is useful for detecting many kinds of memory issues. You can learn more about it here.

To make this easier you can integrate these commands into your build tasks. You can learn more about those here

Note that these tools will simply display information about the usage of time and memory in your program, they won’t error-out on large limits. So you’ll have to manually check the output of these commands if you want to verify your program’s efficiency.
