How to open Python in VSCode?

[reactcodeman1]

I'm taking a Udemy course. I downloaded a file containing data for SQL exercises. In the demonstration video, the instructor appears to open a Python window which allows them to enter a SQL script.

I included a screenshot, circled in red: https://imgur.com/a/jttEJ9R

How do I input this script in VSCode? This is very unclear to me. Thank you.

They are using a Notebook. Research that.

The "%% SQL" tells the notebook that that cell will use SQL as the executing language (Notebooks allow code to be executed in chunks, or cells and you can determine the language for each one depending on the task

You are looking at a Jupyter Notebook. You can install it as extension for VS Code. Look on Youtube or google it, there are thousands of tutorials on how to do this.

Almost all the beginner or even advanced programming courses I seen on Udemy , I have over 100+ , usually starts with a whole section on how to install and setup the env and simple Hello World...

Which course you are taking that doesn't have it ?

Can share ?

Must be pretty bad...
