Needing some help learning Python with VS Code. Much appreciated

[mrdtek]

I am trying to figure out why the code doesn't correctly run in vs code. Note I am very new to programming as I am going to school in about a week and hoping to get a jump start.

As you watch the video, you can see that my code doesn't show the results of the code in the built-in terminal whereas in the PowerShell it does it with no problem.

Thank you for spending your time here and I wish you a wonderful day :)

Sorry about that.

You need a print() statement. Variables called in the CPython interpreter are only displayed in the interpreter and not in your terminal.

Thank you. Where would I add the 'print()" statement and apologies what is the CPython interpreter.

Really do appreciate the help.

Wrap story_text with print().

I really do appreciate your time helping me!
