Visual Studio Code – How to autofill code with initials or shortcut line of code in Visual Studio 2019?

For example i want to write (rand%(MaxValue-MinValue+1))-MinValue i don’t want to write this line everytime i want to use it but is there a way to make Visual Studio auto write it when i just need to write rand or R.

    Why not use #define?

    Here is an example:

    #define rand(r,max,min) ((r%(max-min+1))-min)

    And to call it:

    rand(_rand, MaxValue, MinValue);

    I recommend you to use snippet, it’s very convenient.

    You need to create a new txt file on the desktop, and then enter the following code in the file.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">
  <CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0">
    <Header>
      <Title>propertyName</Title>
      <Shortcut>rand</Shortcut>
    </Header>
    <Snippet>
  <Code Language="cpp">
    <![CDATA[
    (rand%(MaxValue-MinValue+1))-MinValue
    ]]>
  </Code>
  <Declarations>   
  </Declarations>
</Snippet>
  </CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>

    Then change the suffix of the txt file to snippet, and finally import the snippet according to the method in the document.
