Answer 2

That's the point of IDLE. It reads, evaluates, prints, and loops. If you don't want to do things one line at a time I'd reccomend writing a python script file instead.

Answer 4

LONGTIE I'd recommend just getting an actual IDE.

Answer 5

When using idle it automatically runs the code

Answer 6

It sounds like you're trying to code in interactive mode. Code in an IDE, then run it in Python.

Ahri Fox you play league

Answer 8

Jay Matthews I just tried this In IDLE it dose not work.

>>>print("hi")#ctrl+j
print("test")
syntax error multiple statements found while compiling a single statement

Answer 9

Answer 10

LONGTIE yep completely different from what we are learning on our phones. fyi when you look in the "example" box. that's how it looks.

I've noticed where we type "print" its replaced with ">>>"

example:

Android App
Print "Hello World"
"Hello World"

Laptop
>>> 'Hello World'
'Hello World'

looks just like that

Answer 11

David Ashton very detailed. thank you

Answer 12

Jay Matthews hey that worked but It turns out if I just enter the code correctly it automatically jumps line and indents

Answer 13
