The main function in Python

Question

It seems like the main function in the CODE PLAYGROUND does not work. When I use the def main: syntax, my code does not compile...

Answer 1

i recently started learning python after c++, and i feel like there is no main function... or am i wrong?

Answer 2

There is no main() function in python. You can do

if __name__ == '__main__':
# code

This works in Sololearn too. However it's not the same as e.g. int main() in C++. You can define a function main(), but you'll have to call it yourself because it won't be called automatically
