Having trouble compiling in VS Code terminal, which is Windows Powershell

When I right click Run code, and have run in terminal on in my user settings I get these errors.

I have been compiling fine up until today, and I did some googling and started typing my own commands into the terminal instead of just running code.

I started replacing the && with -and and get a different problem. This is what the command looks like now.

"c:\Users\Josh\Documents\Programming\Learning to Program\" -and g++ Exercise36.cpp -o Exercise36 -and "c:\Users\Josh\Documents\Programming\Learning to Program\"Exercise36

This is the error I get.

Set-Location : Parameter cannot be processed because the parameter name 'o' is ambiguous. Possible matches include: -OutVariable -OutBuffer.

    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Set-Location], ParameterBindingException

I am using the GNU open source compiler, this is the first issue I have had with compiling since I realized you have to save before you compile. I am running a simple string that changes all the characters to X from a string that is read from terminal from C++ Primer program. Any help would be appreciated.
