How to provide input data while debugging in VS Code?

Question

I wanted to know that how can we provide data while debugging in VS Code. For eg.

a = input()
b = input()

c = a + b

print(c)

I also have a input.txt file as follows:

10
20

So when I run python test.py < input.txt, the code should read the data and run.

But while debugging how can I tell the debugger to use the input?

sys.argv would require me to open file and read line by line. Isn't there something similar to just doing python test.py < input.txt while debugging? — Raj

Create a debugging configuration withexternalConsole": true. Check Igor's solution for more information. Reading input from a text file would not work for input() but instead you can provide as application parameters using sys.argv[].

here is when I run the code with external debugging.
