MacOS VSCode cpp w/clang runtime output-to-terminal issue

[PythonSun22]

When attempting to run a simple hello world program from a cpp file, VSCode Terminal prints "Build finished successfully.", but the actual output of the code is printed to the Debug Console after printing several debug lines ending in "Symbols loaded." Why does the code output print to the Debug Console rather than the Terminal itself? How can I change this so that output prints directly to the Terminal?

Thank you for your time.
