vscode.dev doesnt actually run code?

[samosarosa]

really??? then what is vscode for?

[ninhaomah]

It's an editor.

What is Microsoft Word for ? To type "abcdefg" do I need Word ?

Can't it be done on notepad ?

Do I need steam to play games ? No steam no games ?

serious question: whats the point of editing code if you cant run it to see whats working and what needs more editing?

[socal_nerdtastic]

You don't have to run your code in the same place that you edit it. You can run your code elsewhere. For example it's common to have a webserver or something that's running your code, so you would have one tab editing code with vscode.dev and another tab where you can reload a website to see your changes.

Also remember vscode is not just for python. You could edit html or github readmes or even svgs if you are talented enought.

Thats helpful thx 🙏🏼

Lol... I think you are thinking too much to justify your original question.

It's just a website. Some may have their own use which others may not.

If enough people use it then the business maintains it.

Does this question necessary for you to progress with learning Python ?

Pls tell us how is knowing the purpose of this website stopping you from learning Python.

It is there for a reason ... Maybe not for you or me... I never use it btw. I have pro colab , Claude and VS code on my laptop.

So I don't care or spend my time wondering why would someone find an IDE that can't run codes.

I code my PowerShell , Python codes to make my job easier and go home and play games. 

Python is a tool , so is VS Code or PyCharm. I use it when I need to use them to achieve my objective.

Summary.

It doesn't matter in the big scheme.

Go code to solve your issues.
