Answer 1

The two things that let python program excuate are interpreter and IDE .

You should start these in your system
And just enjoy python

Answer 2

If you have python you probably downloaded idle with it.

There are two things you can run the code in: An interpreter or an IDE.

What you were typing in before was the interpreter. It takes one line at a time.

An ide is like here in sololearn. You write multiple lines of code, and run them all at once.

I recommend "PyScripter" as an ide, just look it up. It has a lot of helpful features for beginners.

Answer 3

You need an IDE or a text editor to run Python code. I suggest using VScode

Answer 4

just need to download some IDE (in my opinion vscode is good) then run your code on it(in vscode with pressing f5 button, it runs)

Answer 5

What IDE are you using

Answer 6

I want to know what I was doing with iphone 11.

Answer 7

The idle is interpreter so there's line by line interpretation....

If you want to run the code as a whole download PyScripter or any other IDE software

Answer 8

When you open python does it look like a cmd or a terminal shell?

Answer 9

The app might be using a keyboard shortcut or a button in menu like that...

Answer 10

Meanwhile you can use good online compilers, I also use online ones for Python...

Answer 11

Are you using the IDE that the Python downloader gives you by default?

Answer 12

Slick yes it looks like cmd , but cmd is pretty different in terms of commands.

Answer 13

Varun Vaswani can i download a python version that has the run button and has 2 sections of input/output so i wont have to go online?

Answer 14

Jianmin Chen i have no idea, i just downloaded python. The online version has run button and otber stuff, my app looks like cmd and is very simple

Answer 15

sofronis, the command line is intended for running a Python file or running one-liners. If you used the default Python downloader, you should be able to find a code editor provided with it called IDLE, where you can edit and run code. What operating system are you on?

Answer 16

Jianmin Chen im on windows 10

Answer 17

Jianmin Chen ive heard about this idle, basically you write and run the codes ? Where do i find it or download it?

Answer 18

If you didn't change anything in the default installer when downloading Python, you should be able to search up Python in the Windows application search bar, and find IDLE.

Answer 19

sofronis , you can look for the version 2. But my choice are online one's. Especially online gdb and programmiz. They don't fill up the storage !!

Answer 20

And how about CPYTHON. The IDLE recommended in this Solo Learn course...?
