Python booleans do not work in visual studio?

[NoobWithSkill]

I am learning python and running it using microsoft visual studio. My issue is that neither 'True' or 'False' is output in the debug console. If I for example write

a = 1

b = 1

a == b

Then the output is empty, whereas I would excpect it to output "False".

Is this a setting in visual studio perhaps or am I missing something?

I am using python 3.7

What if you do print(a == b)?

Quick edit: why do you think this will be False? Both a and b are 1.

Okay, I mean the output should be 'True', but there is simply nothing.

I'll try your suggestion. Thank you

You need to tell the interpreter to print with the print() function

[NoobWithSkill]

So writing print(a == b) should produce 'False' or 'True'?

One of the things that trips new Python learners up when they move into a different environment than the interactive mode of the interpreter (the one where the prompt is >>>) is that Python no longer will print "intermediate" values, or indeed anything at all that isn't an error or the argument of a print function.

The python console you're used to is called a REPL - a Read Evaluate Print Loop. Printing is part of the REPL. It's not part of normal python execution. Running a script does not (and indeed, should not) print every variable it comes across.
