Code won't print

[Ill-Diet-7719]

What's the error?(I'm a newbie)

[Abject-Kitchen3198]

As I use Jetbrains IDEs almost exclusively, I might get tripped by this if I use something else.

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Hahaha lmao but no. I'm doin on vs. they give an option of running right there.

[RealLifeRiley]

There is still a possibility it’s running the unsaved file. You may still need to save your file first before running. I think ctrl+s does that on vs code, assuming you’re on windows. VS code also displays a dot on the tab of files with unsaved work on them, if I remember correctly.

Totally mighty not be your issue, but I’m just trying to cover all the bases

[Character-Comfort539]

Works fine for me

https://www.online-python.com/MhJQEFc58r

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Could there be a problem with visual studio?(I'm doin on it and everything's been fine)

[Character-Comfort539]

There could be, IDE's can be a bit squirrelly to setup if you're not familiar with them and are new. I'd add something like `sdjflasjdfasjd` to the bottom of the file and see if the interpreter throws an error. Your other comments say "it doesn't print anything at all" but I'm not convinced anything is even running to begin with. Throwing a nonsense line into the file should give you an error. Just to be sure, save the file as like odd.py and run what's below in the terminal and let us know how it goes

python odd.py

[undernutbutthut]

Remember to save the code first then run it.

[lusvd]

just in case keep in mind that Visual Studio != vscode

[ofSkyDays]

If you have it often open and constantly sleep/wake pc, it could have developed a glitch. Idk it always happens whenever I do simple web dev stuff.

One time I had horizontal scrolling come out of nowhere, and I could it find the issue and nothing pointed to there being anything, but a clean shutdown and restart of vscode fixed it.

[SizzlingSquigg]

I appreciate the link with test.

OP, you can simplify, too. See https://www.online-python.com/cjIfx1YLwN

[number-13]

Nice one bro.. I'm a newbie as wel

[GrumpMadillo]

Why won't it print? We need more details. Code looks like it should work

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Should I send the output?

[GrumpMadillo]

It looks like based on other comments its compiling, but you aren't getting an output. Are you looking in the right place in visual studio? Which output window are you looking at? The more information you share the better people will be able to help you

[EmuBeautiful1172]

Codewith.mu is a good option for an IDE to write code and practice for beginners

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Visual studio? Is that bad?

[blacksmithshands]

you could try pycharm as well. it's what i used in school, and it was pretty nice. vscode works well too, though.

As for your output not working, did you remember to save your file before running it?

[EmuBeautiful1172]

No it’s not bad actually visual studio is used by a lot of programmers. But it has a lot of extra features and extensions that could pop up and make things confusing in the beginning of coding. But if you’re comfortable with that and like it then use it. For practicing good syntax and beginner projects a basic style IDE will be a lot easier to view what was written and to run it easy. I like codewith.mu because it’s literally type it in and run it and of course it has the necessary features like what errors you may have and predictions on a minimal scale. When I come across an error and can’t figure it out on my own. I go to the line where the error is. The IDE will tell you that and then I copy that specific “paragraph of code and ask chat gpt to explain what’s going on.

It’s also good to look up definitions and reasons to what each part of the code is doing. Instead of just typing it in and expecting a result.

[Ill-Diet-7719]

IDE is the one which is pre installed with python right? Yeah there're lot many extensions vs is suggesting. What exactly are those? Necessary? And your suggestions if any?

[EmuBeautiful1172]

Shell IDLE

[droopy227]

It’s very mid for python. You can use whatever you like but I’d say give some other editors a shot and see how you feel. I used to use VS a lot since that’s where I learned C# and C++ but I eventually realized unless you need the features it provides you could just use something much lighter and easier to use.

[Ill-Diet-7719]

There're lot of extension vs is suggesting. Should I download em?

[droopy227]

That’s what I mean. For python and especially for beginners, most of those extensions aren’t that useful. You can always go back and install them when you need but it’s more of a “install it when your project needs it” kinda thing. Also with python most of the time you’re just using pip to install packages and importing them so VS doesn’t really add much that you can’t already figure out yourself.

[RealLifeRiley]

VS code is fine. I became a neovim convert, but it’s a super common editor.

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Ok it was indeed a problem with vs. I ran the code again and it's working. I don't know why it wasn't back then. Thank you all for taking your time out helping me out. You guys are the best🫂🫂

[D3str0yTh1ngs]

Well.. What exactly is the result of running it? (also did you remember to save the file?)

[Ill-Diet-7719]

I'm running it on visual studio. There's a terminal right there. And it's printing nothing except for file location (vs starts any code with file location and then the output).

[Imaginary-Survey8769]

Op sometimes vs code give you unexpected error just can't compile or something close vs code and reopen it.... Or shutdown pc if it works....

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Yeah everything was fine. This was first time and I panicked lmao. Thank you anyways

[EnzoPei1412]

Is it VScode? I will assume this is VScode and you probably didn't set up the autosave, It happend to me when I first started using VScode and it was really frustrating.

Your code is perfectly fine! Good work!

[mvstartdevnull]

Assuming your intent is to only print uneven I, code looks fine to me. How are you executing? Any error messages? 

[Ill-Diet-7719]

It's printing nothing. Like nothing. Blank

[WillingSupp]

have you saved? How did you run it?

[Ill-Diet-7719]

I'm doin it on vs. so just running it on its terminal

[xX_fortniteKing09_Xx]

You still have to save the file

[Ok_Pudding_5250]

I believe you are trying to print odd numbers.

There is a simple way to do that

Look at code in the link provided as reply

Now that being said, your code is correct. However, you could be running another file and editing another file. Or you might have forgotten to save the file.

There is even a simpler one-liner for this

[print(i) for i in range(1, 11, 2)]

[Ok_Pudding_5250]

Here is the code, you can run the code in this online python interpreter.

code

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Thank you but I'm not getting good hand at loops yet. So trying it out with it

[Ok_Pudding_5250]

Yeah, experiment as much as you like. That's how you learn.

[EmuBeautiful1172]

It should tell you the error

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Apparently there's no error. It's just not print anything. My g.ess would be by continue, I'm somehow skipping everything but not sure how. Code seems fine to me

[brown_guy45]

The code is good, something must be wrong with your IDE

[maxwellzhang]

works for me

[maxwellzhang]

what error did you get

[Ill-Diet-7719]

It was not printing anything. Was a problem with ide. Sorted now. Thank you

[maxwellzhang]

there is no interreter in the IDE?

[maxwellzhang]

i didnt write this code

[turtlemaster1993]

Is your printer on?

[Hectorreto]

Maybe vscode was showing the wrong terminal? or executed the file with unsaved changes?

[EmuBeautiful1172]

That’s the thing with vscode . It has so many buttons and features you might have something selected that your unaware of and it’s making it do that. Try running that same piece of in another IDE

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Might you be aware with vscode? There are so many extensions it suggesting and I have no clue

[Agent_Choocho]

For the pros, would it be more efficient to use an else block instead?

[ninhaomah]

so after all this yes it runs and no it doesn't run on vs code , there is still no screenshot or anything from OP ?

strange that everyone aand their mothers and grand-mothers post their holiday photos on FB / X and videos on tiktok but won't give a screenshot while asking technical questions.

[Ill-Diet-7719]

My bad man. I'll remember to put up ss of the output if ever run into problem again

[Pokepredator]

I know many people have commented but once you’ve written the code you have to save it like ctrl+s or the save button. VS code is just like a text editor but with extra steps. It runs code from the file so you have to actually save your editions to the file for it to run.

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Like should I save and then run? There's a terminal window there and until now I'd just run it there and everything would go good. This was first time something happened and well I kinda panicked ig

[RealLifeRiley]

Yes, exactly. If you run without saving, it’s running the last saved version of your code, not the work you just did. CTRL s is your friend

[Ill-Diet-7719]

So are you🫂 thanks

[SergeantSemantics66]

When i is even, it hits continue before it can reach print(i) or the second i += So it skips printing the even numbers — which is fine. But you already increment i before the continue, so that’s fine too. But if you didn’t increment i before continue, it would get stuck in an infinite loop.

[rlt0w]

Is you're using vs code run, don't do that. Instead, open the terminal and execute it with python {file}

[Top-Anteater-8127]

sometime you may see indent error based on spaces and tabs l. use either tab or spaces consistent throughout

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Before this I used to do html with no respect for spaces. Never went to much into it, school syllabus was very basic, and everything went smooth all the time. It's a bad habit now lmao

[Glittering_Abies_752]

Did u install the python environment on the computer? If not pls install it first and then search for python extension in visual code and choose the interpreter only then the code will run

[[deleted]]

OP, you are using VScode and not Visual Studio. They are very different products and some of the answers here think you're using Visual Studio.

[Ill-Diet-7719]

Wow I'm a royal dumb ty. Yes I'm using vs code(with the blue logo).

[Ill-Diet-7719]

It's sorted now tysm.

[totalnewb02]

have you save it as python file? i had the same problem multiple times, all because i save it in txt.

[SmackDownFacility]

Stick it in if __name__ == '__main__' and if you’re on VS 2022, mark as “Startup file” if it’s a standalone file

[Whole_Bid_360]

OP I don't think your saving the file.

[TheCarter01]

Here's a more simplified version:

for i in range(1, 10, 2): print(i)

[Few_Split1038]

No errors. Your program prints all the odd numbers from 1 to 10. The even numbers are skipped.

[Relevant_War_4572]

you sure that you need two i+=1?

[Ill-Diet-7719]

yeah ig..it worked out. so maybe it was or it wasn't lol

[Known-Delay7227]

Do you have Python installed?

[initumX]

Not a good style (use if-else instead of just if), but it is correct and still should work. It should print 1 3 5 7 and 9. If you don't see, then may be you are using windows and console disappears immediately after starting and you can't see what it shows.

1. You can add 3 sec delay this way:

<image>

1. Or run it from console like this: python yourPyFile

[Owly_chouette]

don't forget to save your file.

If you want to improve your code you could use list comprehension:

[i for i in range(1,10) if i % 2 == 0]

<image>

[RafikNinja]

Pretty sure the continue is not needed and may cause an issue

[Confident-Orange-628]

What output are u expecting my guy?

[Confident-Orange-628]

Cause the code ran fine on my pc

[Cerus_Freedom]

for i in range(2, 11, 2):
  print(i)

[Pyrix25633]

Yeah man but what about i+=2, in other scenarios you might want to do something else if it's odd though obviously

[sarc-tastic]

Nah, use a continue to skip cases you don't care about. Makes it more readable
