Code Editor Only Works for Python - Other Languages Non-Functional

[Ananya44444]

Bug Description

The virtual lab code editor has a language dropdown with 4 options (Python, JavaScript, C, C++), but only Python actually works. When users select other languages, the editor doesn't change modes or provide appropriate sample code.

Current Behavior

• Language dropdown shows: Python, JavaScript, C, C++
• Selecting any language other than Python has no effect
• Editor remains in Python mode regardless of selection
• No syntax highlighting for non-Python languages
• No appropriate sample code for selected languages

Expected Behavior

• Language selection should change Ace editor syntax highlighting mode
• Each language should load appropriate "Hello, World!" sample code
• Syntax highlighting should match the selected programming language
• All 4 languages should be fully functional

Actually it was functional for all the 4 programming languages there..
The issue was only with the boiler plate code,
Ive already fixed it and opened the PR..
You may look for some other issues...
And do let me know if there any help needed
Thanks
