PHYTON QUESTION

Question

Why are these symbols '>>>' before a new code line and in the playground not?

Answer 1

'>>>' is the prompt of the Python command line interpreter.
If you run your script as 'standalone' text file, you don't have this sign: it's like the 'C:>' prompt in a msDOS command line...
In code playground, you are not in a command line interpreter, but in a text editor, and you execute the script at distance, as you run it 'standalone' localy ( limited by no real-time input in code playground ).
