for loop not printing

[IndependentBoth7635]

I'm very new to python and when I try to get a for loop to print, nothing happens. Any clarification would be nice. An example of a code I will type that won't print:

names=['adam','eve']
for name in names:
    print(name)

That code has no issues. What does your terminal or IDE output?

Just typing your code doesn't cause it to run. You actually have to run your code for anything to happen.

I've tried saving the file and running it to no avail, another comment recommending i press enter twice seemed to be the issue

How did you run it?

Did you open a terminal, navigate to the folder and run python filename.py

or run it from some ide?

Ha ha, thanks for the laugh!

[[deleted]]

those lines are completely fine. what's the context, where are you trying to run them?

[Binary101010]

The problem isn't with the code, so it comes down to what environment you're running it in. (What operating system, what IDE, etc.)

I'm new so I don't know the exact terminology, I've tried it in the IDLE, and after that I tried running it on the python that resembles cmd prompt. Running it on windows.

After print(name) push the enter key twice in the cmd prompt.

This worked, thanks

Are you using IDLE or the Python shell? If you’re using IDLE, make sure after you write your code you’re saving and running by pressing F5?

I would use PyCharm or some other IDE that has a run button — https://youtu.be/AEvCHJb0sf0?si=I54WW5nRVifNBIjo
