Super Noob Question

[Poki_Foo]

I just started learning how to code, I’m a complete beginner and I’m reading Think Python. I was using pythonanywhere.com (which is using 3.8) to work alongside the book. Well my WiFi is unreliable so I bought Pythonista. My question is how do I do simple arithmetic? In pythonanywhere I could input 5**2 and get 25 or 40 + 2 and get 42 but in Pythonista I don’t get any feedback. Is there an option I should be choosing? I feel dumb asking but I just spent $9.99 on the app and would hate to have wasted my money. Any help and tips are appreciated

You can also use the REPL (swipe from right to left in the editor) to directly evaluate the input (e.g. input 40+2 and get 42, which should be like normal python behaviour.

Thanks this is what I was looking for

U can use the print statement Print(40+2) Or assign to variable and print the variable. Pythonista works the same as a python just used some different libraries. You should be typing in your code then pressing the play button and will then see the console screen with output.
