Answer 1

Your program is running in Output tab, therefore it is not possible to take input. Just enable Run in terminal in Visual Studio Code Settings.

Settings (ctrl+,) -> Search settings, look for code runner: run in terminal (check)

Note: It is supposed that you have Code Runner extension installed.
