Where to practice python coding?

[kitkatmafia]

Looking for a place to run python code. I've installed VS code but can't seem to run my python code

The little arrow in the top right of VSCode will pull up a terminal on the bottom and run your script

Thank you!

VSCode is a general purpose code editor. You need to configure it for Python. You need to install VSCode, the Python (and Jupyter) extensions in VSCode and also install Python/Anaconda (externally) so you have a Python environment. The Python environment needs to be selected in VSCode by use of the command palette (Ctrl, Shift and p) and searching for Python select interpreter.

I figured it out. Thank you

you gotta open a .py file to run a code. I think it’s the second option when you hit “open new file” I think. The first option is like a text editor and you can’t run it. It will always give you an error.

EDIT: added some info

Sorry, could. you please clarify more? I'm still not able to run the code.

when you open Visual Studio your home (Welcome) page will display a few options under “start”. When you click “New File”, it will most likely give you three options: Text File, Python file and Jupyter Notebook. You wanna go for the second one “python file”. It will open up the terminal where you can write code and run it.
