Answer

Two ways:
(1) In setting.json file => add this line-
{
"code-runner.runInTerminal": true
// Other lines...
}
You are done!!
Or
(2) Follow these steps-
Step1. Go to File > Preference > Setting.
Step2. Then on the left panel, scroll and find 'Run Code Configuration'.
Step3. Under that option: keep cursor on "code-runner.runInTerminal" and click on edit icon.
Step4: You will see two true & false option. Make it true.
Step5: You are done!!

### i think you just need to do right click inside the code area and chose Run Python File in Terminal
and it will run the code in terminal window
so you will not need to turn code-runner.runInTerminal to true from your File -> Preferences -> Settings
because if you will turn it to true so every time you have to run the code in output window you will need to turn it to false again
so it's better to do the solution i mentioned above
### and also you can end the running code by do right click and chose Stop Code Run

I've skimmed through all the reply's and they do work. Are more settings supposed to be put in the settings.json file? maybe for better performance? When you use terminal for the output, you always get the path of the file you're running and the python executable. Now if you don't need to do input for the file your running code runner works and if you do you have to run it in terminal. Is there a better process? Anyone know how to eliminate the path of the file and executable being run?
Thank you in advance
