By running the above commands, you will be able to install Visual Studio Code (VSCode) in Ubuntu using the terminal. Here's a breakdown of what each command does:

1. sudo apt install software-properties-common apt-transport-https wget -y installs the necessary dependencies required for installing software via the package manager.
2. wget -q https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add - retrieves the GPG key for the Microsoft repository and adds it to the keyring.
3. sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://packages.microsoft.com/repos/vscode stable main" adds the Microsoft repository to the list of software sources.
4. sudo apt install code installs Visual Studio Code.

After running these commands, VSCode will be successfully installed on your Ubuntu system.
