To use Boost Library in Visual Studio Code with Code Runner, follow these steps:

1. Install Boost Library on your computer if you haven't already done so. You can download it from the official website: https://www.boost.org/users/download/

2. Open Visual Studio Code and create a new C++ project.

3. Create a new source file and write your code that uses Boost Library.

4. Add the Boost Library include directory to your project's include path by adding the following line to your project's configuration file (such as CMakeLists.txt):

include_directories(/path/to/boost/)

Replace "/path/to/boost/" with the actual path to the Boost Library include directory on your system.

1. Configure Code Runner to use the Boost Library by adding the following lines to your Visual Studio Code user settings:

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

Replace "/path/to/boost/" with the actual path to the Boost Library include directory on your system.

1. Save your changes and run your code using Code Runner. Code Runner will now use the Boost Library in your code.

Note: If you're using a different compiler or version of Boost Library, you may need to adjust the configuration file and settings accordingly.
